John Piper: Don't Waste Your Life

After listening to your “Seashell” sermon, it occurred to me the motivation for your anti-Trump hatred. Trump supported the American dream, and he was gaining ground in making it available to more and more people everyday. A good job, a nice family, a car, a retirement. All the things you currently enjoy you Pharisaically resent being available to the masses. Are you happy now that the American dream is falling further and further from our grasp? Would you be happy if everyone had a dysfunctional family? Insufficient housing? Unreliable transportation? Harsh retirement conditions?

"You're off the charts salty." ~John Piper
Never thought one could be so complimented by being called salty

This man is 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.

Hello please how could One get in touch with John Piper.. directly?

Incredible!!! HALLELUJAH!!! 🙌🙌🙌

I respect people believes that Jesus is a god son, but he isn't. Please understand that God is only one and creature, and Jesus is a prophet, very powerful and very important prophett who was not died. I want all my hristiyan brother and sisters to find the right view of God. Only read Koran please. If you want to be in heaven you need to understand that God never forgive this believe that Jesus is the son of God. Never forgive after your death , and no matter how strong you believe was in this life For Jesus like a son of God, except if you find right answer in this world.

I’d say some of his “big parts” have fallen off.

John, help a brother out here, would you? I’m trying to figure out why you won’t say a word about your assertion that life and freedom must take a back seat to Trump-disdain, or, how you awkwardly put it “Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers…when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person.” This is a HUGE bombshell, as life and freedom are, really, what God offers us through Jesus in the afterlife and, if we aren’t blithering idiots, in the here-and-now.  Why is it then, John, you put such a huge premium on Trump-hate? Weren’t you supposed to be a prolife champion? Leading prolife marches, going to jail, even adopting a poor black baby-girl? What are we to think, John? Given that Trump, irregardless of what you may say, was the single most effective prolifer in history*, were all these things purely for optics? Putting a fresh shine on the halo, were we?

*as the one God used to end Roe, in terms of actual LIVES SAVED, no body comes close. What other definition you may have for being prolife would obviously be the result of some kind of foggy, fuzzy Orwellian new-speak. (As an aside, I’ve heard progressives say that to be prolife is to care for the baby conception-to-grave. Food, health care, housing, education, enriching-employment, retirement, etc. If you don’t believe the government is responsible for each one, any waffling at all, would mean you’re not really prolife. Is that what you think, Johnny? Maybe Biden, who never saw a pregnant belly he didn’t want to slice and dice, was, by your definition, the TRUE prolife candidate. Like I said, Orwellian new-speak.)

Fraud

Best sermon ever

So good

Church? If you’ve ever felt that your church was under attack, you have nobody to blame but those presumptuous, lying and (woefully) naive prolifers who put Trump in office in 2016. Such was the power of Trump that his horrible influence still causes all the dysfunction in church and society we see today. Everything we thought was a function of Biden’s idiocy? Ah, a mere holdover from Trump’s reign-of-terror. As pastor-teacher-guru John Piper writes: “Therefore, Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers (who are also baffled!) when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person. The church is paying dearly, and will continue to pay, for our communicating this falsehood year after year.” (Yeah, he really wrote that. 10/22/20. He’s never apologized, he’s never retracted a single word. FYI: As for this price we’re “paying dearly” for? If Christ shed His blood for me, the least I could do is to shelve my pride and vote for those vile, horrible, damning laws that protect life and freedom.)

Wrong. John quits.

Wow, thank you for your message 🙏 ❤

Halleluyah❣️🙌🙌🙌

My husband and I actually had the mosquito conversation too and wondered the exact same thing, why? Lol

YOLO but biblical!

The joy of the Lord is my strength!! I love the supernatural joy He blesses us with in our suffering for His Glory!

It reminds me of how the saints sang hymns as they were being burned alive and through their supernatural joy through suffering our Father drew so many others who witnessed these miracles to Him!

HalleluYah!! He is SO GOOD!!

Such a solid teacher!

My thoughts on this subject. God has a purpose for everyone. God uses people to get things done here on earth for His Glory and our reward is internal life in heaven with him.

Is god most gloryfied when we love him most or satisfied most as the most important command is to love god

that's why I'll put this video in 2x speed

Thank you John Piper. Also at the same time my life is NEVER WASTED under King 👑 Jesus' Presence from above the sky in Heaven.

OH MY 😳 🔥

I am filled ! Glory to God ! Use me to Your Glory Heavenly Father !

So practical and easy to understand. What is wrong with us? This sermon tears me up ! Have mercy on me oh Lord !

Yes! We do waste our time ! We need to wake up! Thank you Sir ! He’s all we need ! Our Awesome God! We are in trouble ! We are even lazy to love God!

I wonder if this is the MacArthur has being openly criticizing about not having any reference to the book of Zechariah.

It's a grim reminder of one life, then the judgement. Without Jesus Christ in your life your doomed

Ive just started listening and I love it...but growing also hurts...I need it and long to know more...be more...hear more.

Thank you so much for a great message and I have wasted a lifetime of my time and life

Worship God, follow Jesus and serve others in his name.

Too late for me. 23 years in a dead lifeless marriage. No success. Nothing. Yup wasted life.

I love this message..

What a blessing. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen

"God's God exalting purpose for the universe causes me to soar" Piper
My heart wants to explode!

A glorious message. Thank God for Pastor John. Help us Lord to live an unwasted life for His glory.

One of the few sermons that really pierce right through my heart. Just pure and real plea to not waste a second of our life glorifying ourselves and this world. Because we and this world is finite, we all have an end. But living a life glorifying God who is infinite, is the most important thing that matters most for eternity.

Praise Lord

Amen🙏💪

YAHUWAH ELOHIYM is His proper name.
EHYEH ASHER EHYEH = I AM That I AM.

I have been too distracted away from the Most Important and into a treadmill of repeated living.... Thank you for this One Reminder

Praised be His name..!!

Hello! I don't speak ingles:
Si puedan doblar al español estaría bueno, muchas gracias!

Pastor Piper's description of God makes me well up, reminding me of how wonderful He is and what a wretched being I am.

I’m feeling the some way. I really don’t know what is in my heart and I trust God to help to accomplish His purpose. That’s is my desire.

"Now I live and I die in order to show that God's glory in Christ crucified - for sinners like me - is infinitely valuable... Jesus is more precious than life. The life that most clearly displays the all-satisfying, infinite value/worth and glory of God - manifested most clearly in Christ crucified; is a life of joyful/happy suffering in the service of love..."

If it weren’t for the Bible, John Piper would be a madman.
