    This man is holy. His carefully-curated poses reveal a deeply spiritual man. He is without sin. Beatific. Consecrated. Devoted. Beyond the criticisms of the common man.

      I think from John pipers own mouth he would say. “I am the chief of sinners”
      Also
      “Not unto us oh lord but unto you be the glory.”
      And “it is not I that live but Christ in me”

      Lol... you gotta be kidding. I love and appreciate my brother John Piper. I have often thanked the Lord for the gift that he is to me/us. But without sin, beatific...? Nah! Your expression treads in the very idolatry he addresses in this sermon.

    Is it so wrong to have nice clothes or to
    enjoy good food? My thinking is that it's possible to use the things of this
    world without abusing them, Paul
    wrote that in one of his letters and
    I'm inclined to think that we have the
    freedom to have nice things without
    making them idols. Unless you take
    a vow of poverty, as monks do, and
    you want to totally forsake any sort
    of material goods, then go for it. But
    I trurly believe that God wants us to
    find pleasure in the goodness that he
    created us to find satisfaction in.

    • @johng423
      @johng423 2 місяці тому

      I don't disagree: God wants us to find pleasure in what He provides for us, and to be thankful. But He doesn't want us to go after THINGS, expecting them to bring us satisfaction. He wants us to find our contentment IN HIM.
      > It's a question of the heart.
      > Here's a test:
      If God says NO to some THING you want, are you angry at Him for (supposedly) denying you being happy or satisfied?
      OR
      Does your RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM mean MOST (more than anything else) in your life?

    If God is my main focus and I wish to make money is that wrong? Because I feel like preachers are always preaching us into poverty yet God made soo many decent men rich. Like Job or Abraham

    • @AndYouSir-
      @AndYouSir- 9 місяців тому +3

      Having money isn’t wrong, but the love of money is. If you notice, the rich men in the Bible like Abraham, Job, and Solomon didn’t seek wealth; they sought God, and God blessed them.

      Maby God is saying something to you. Be careful to hear that still small voice. Maby having a dog might draw your heart away from God, because we can get so immotionally attached. Pray for guidance. Ask God what He would have you do. God bless you!!❤

    Yep! They will go to hell! As Jesus said "I never knew you.". And no amount of asking for forgiveness will change that. Because coveting is a willful act. A willful and knowing act of evil.
