Preached in 1994, pre internet and satellite tv. We are sooooo much closer now than ever and I'm sure today, 2024, Piper would agree. The Great Commission can be (if it isn't already) completed in the twinkling of an eye. We have likely reached all peoples of the earth.
Live like You were dying, Jesus is on his way,, imagine all the lashes and all the beating all the pain and torment Jesus, suffered,, God bless you nobody knows the day and time, God will let him know when
God is aware, remember. So there may be something He(God) wants you to get right in your life. Rem Paul in 2 Cor 12:8-9? Please go to God in prayer for clarity and also from strength to be triumphant
I am with you, my brother. Always remember, the Lord is with you. Who can be against you? May the Lord’s strength be made magnified in you in your against the devil. “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalms 23:4)
@@JadDragon God bless you friend, I may have asked you before, will God send me to hell for listening to rock and roll music? Even though I'm covered by the blood of Jesus?
@@normanjefferychester882 you haven't asked but that's ok. No, He won't. You should still use discernment with the music you listen to. No genre on its own is bad. But if you start to find some songs start making you want to sin, those are the ones to avoid

"16 " Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise😊❤ as serpents and innocent😊❤ as doves. "( Matthew 10:16 ESV Study Bible under the context of Matthew 10:16-25( Persecution will come) and it also reminds me about John 3:14 ( Jesus said in John 3:14a "14( a) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man( " Son of Man"= equal= Jesus😊1st❤ who is 100% Man or Son of Man and also 100% God too from Isaiah 9:6😊❤ and John 1:1-2😊❤ and Son of God( John 3:16😊❤ too) and many others names in Bible too, Do you know too? ) So again John 3:14 "Jesus said in John 3:14 "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man( Jesus😊1st❤ ) be lifted up,"( John 3:14 ESV Study Bible) In John 3:15 "15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."( John 3:15 ESV Study Bible) "...Whoever believe in him( Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) " from John 3:16 middle of the verse that is, whoever😊❤ personally trusts in him( Jesus😊1st❤ ( see ...Matthew 11:25) .

Part 2 of Exodus 7:8-12 " 8 The the LORD ( the Lord God😊❤) said to Moses😊❤ and Aaron😊❤, 9 " When Pharaoh says to you, " Prove yourselves by working a miracle, ' then you say to Aaron, " Take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.' " 10 So Moses😊❤ and Aaron😊❤ went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD😊❤ commanded. Aaron 😊❤ cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the magicans of Egypt, also did the same by their secret arts. 12 For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron😊❤'s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Still Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD😊❤ had said." ( Exodus 7:8-13 ESV Study Bible) Matthew 10:16( Jesus said.) "16 " Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise😊❤ as serpents and innocent😊❤ as doves. "( Matthew 10:16 ESV Study Bible) So again John 3:14 "Jesus said in John 3:14 "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man( Jesus😊1st❤ ) be lifted up,"( John 3:14 ESV Study Bible) In John 3:15 "15 that whoever believes in him(Jesus😊1st❤ ) may have eternal life😊❤ ."( John 3:15 ESV Study Bible)
Mark 11:27-33( The authority of Jesus 😊1st❤ challenged) "27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he( Jesus😊1st❤) was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, " By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them? " 29 Jesus(😊1s5❤) said to them, " I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism😊❤ of John ( John the Baptist😊❤) from heaven or from man? Answer me." 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, " If we say, " From heaven, ' he will say, ' Why then did you not believe him? ' 32 But shall we say, 'From man' ? " - they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John(😊❤) really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus(😊1st❤), " We do not know." And Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them, " Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." "( Mark 11:27-33 ESV Study Bible) Went to joined others and the children wanted us ( my wife and I ) to play board game with them and we played with their parents too. Got back into our cabin not long ago in Christ.
When Piper wrote his never-Trump pieces he was most assuredly NOT talking about the gospel of Jesus. He had no right to make the absurd claim that life itself is not as important as being anti-Trump. Has anyone else ever elevated politics to such a hateful extreme? Ever?
Hank... You're mentally ill... because there was no such claim made as your drivel. And the demonstration that Your faculties have depleted is that you've been corrected and demonstrated to be false ...time and again. So even a rational understanding of your own lying is beyond Your contextual frame. This is giving you over to a -reprobate mind.... which God did all along. And you are fulfilling what was passed over in you... before the foundation of the world. And because you're too far gone, God is getting glory by demonstrating it to others -for a appropriate fear of the Lord in their own irrational behavior. And the saddest part is that you can't NOT do this because you have no "free will" to do otherwise... Fear and Trembling!
