This is a timeless message, it was relevant in 1984, it’s relevant today and it will be relevant 20 years from now; God’s truth doesn’t change with time
If my happiness is God's will and purpose for His glory, then God wants my happiness. If my happiness does not include His glory, then He is not going to strive for my happiness. We were not saved / elected to be happy but rather we were saved to bring God glory. God is the center of our salvation, He is the center of our happiness. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:9-11
This man is so very holy. His carefully curated poses reveal a deeply spiritual man. He is without sin. Beatific. Consecrated. Devoted. Deeply humble. Beyond the criticisms of the common man.
When will I be happy? Everything is going against me, nobody really likes me. Life is just hard right now and I don’t want to live like this anymore but I can’t get out of it, I’m just stuck. It feels like God is hitting me and punishing me but I never get delivered.
@beckiki1 Sounds like a “Job” situation to me. I sympathize with you. Let us run with endurance, knowing that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose (Roman’s 8:28) and also even when it feels like it, NOTHING can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus!
Hi Becki. Along with you, we need to read and believe what God says, such as in 2 Corinthians 4:16-17, which says... "Therefore we do not lose heart...because this light momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison." Momentary could mean some time in this life, but small compared to eternity, an eternity of joy with a joyful God and Lord Jesus who died to bring us there. Let's trust him, he will help when we ask!
God's ultimate purpose is for us to be his happiness is not included in their money's not including there. Health is included for by his stripes we are healed. And the main purpose of being healed is there are body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost.
What’s more important than Trump is focusing on Jesus Christ. No matter who’s in office wether it be democrat or republican, this world is still going to parish.
Piper has thoroughly politicized his ministry in the actual service of Satan. Abortions, transgenderism, crime, and a whole host of Satanic schemes. He is a phony that has deceived so many otherwise good people.
@@jordanpryor4771 I agree totally! Jesus Christ is to be glorified above all! But the truth matters a lot also! The Democrat party is anti Christian, supports abortion, same sex marriage, they hate America, etc. Biden is dishonest, a liar, supports the entire left wing agenda and you never say anything bad about him, or his son, or Hillary, or Obama, or Clinton, or the liberals!! You are sinning in your opinion about Trump!!!

The road to life WILL be hard, but we have someone who endured the cross, so give it up for Jesus!!!
Ruth is the perfect book to illustrate this point.
Don’t listen to him God isn’t provident, he makes you believe
may we trust You Lord to know what is best for us!
Where does it say in Gods word the he working out for our happiness? It says that he works all thing fir our GOOD. which may not make us HAPPY
Troo dat .
God isn’t provident he makes you believe
I have to agree .His drawing is irresistible and makes our unwillingness be willing .

I don’t believe by his stripes we are healed refers to health. I believe that is referring to our eternal security. Our salvation.
Sometimes being healed means dying and being in perfect health with Jesus, in Heaven.
That was awesome
Mr. Piper, how can you let Marshall segall interview jimmy fallon and jimmy kimball two non Christians!
They're adults
Mr. Piper, how can you not support Trump, who is pro life, when Biden is for abortion?

What kind of a question is that? Is that the way you question another believer?
