I think this sermon made me understand what I want to do with my life... I am 19 and am studying Japanese, and I might just use my degree to get involved with a ministery in Japan, in order to spread the gospel.

That’s so amazing. I just recently started learning Japanese myself because I love the culture. But as much as I love it, it saddens me how lost they are. Theres so few believers in Japan. God bless you in whatever endeavors he leads you in!

@Jesus_Is_God_And_You_Know_It How is this vision going now? Encouragement from Australia brother!

Acts 20:24 changed my life 6 years ago. Over time I developed my own worldly hopes and dreams, and when they came crashing down almost exactly one year ago, I went to a very dark place in my mind. Thankfully I only had the darkest thought for perhaps 15 seconds before I took my pain, desperation, and hopelessness to Jesus. My life verse popped into my mind, and I reflected hard on it before searching for a sermon online. This sermon helped light that fire again, slowly but faithfully, and I am SO grateful. The Holy Spirit spoke through Mr. Piper, over the internet, 3 years after this was uploaded. Praise God.

Thank you so much for sharing, i am just about to watch it now and I just received his book “Don’t waste your life”. I’m desperate for change, I feel like I lived for myself more than I have lived for God, I want to change it desperately.

God woke me to hear this. I am 57. Lots of hurt and false starts on my way to the cross. I am in Christ now, but feel the weight of my wasted life. If you feel this way, DONOT DESPAIR!! It’s not over! Give up your life NOW! Satan will taunt you with memories of your sins, but Christ is GREATER than he who is in the world. Finish strong, Saint.

Better to lose my life than to waste it. For God's glory, I live and in my life, Christ be magnified AMEN Thank you for this message.

“when you lose your life when not wasting it you don't lose it you gain it” wow.

I don't want to collect snail houses anymore

the Holy Spirit was definitely speaking some fire through him

“Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise You.” {Psalm 63:3} 💜

Thank you Ps John, I've been a career substance abuser, it's been dark but I see the morning twilight, pray I make it to dawn. Glory to God.

You will Matthew. May God through the Holy Spirit work mightily in your life and use you well for his purpose and will. I will ppray for you.

This is presently one of my favorite sermons. If it were a transcript, all of it would be highlighted in gold. Thank you Pastor John

Definitely what I needed to hear. I look forward to working for the King of Kings!

He’s referring to the One Day that took place in Memphis, TN in 2001. I was a high school senior and wished I would’ve gone to the conference but I’m glad I got to hear it through KZread!

The Word of God is alive!

I feel as though God gave me a proverbs 31 wife! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Bless you and your family Dr Piper. Im Praying for you and your kids. Amen...🙏

Thank You John Piper, this is one more of your deep teachings

Oh thank You Lord for Your truths that You are awakening us to! All glory and honour to our Father and Jesus Christ of Nazareth the Son of God

Yeah I like the sermon it was salty. I pray God give the strength to be aware and ready to risk my live for the glory of his name. I like that confession that's no one can truly confess Christ as son of God and alive, from the depth of his mind except been help by the Spirit of God.

Wacthing from Brazil, God bless ALL!!

Thank you Pastor John Piper for your joyful Ministry and Testimony :) Philippians 2:10-11 So that at the Name of Jesus every Knee Should Bow, in Heaven and on the earth and under the earth, And every Tongue Confess That Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen

Thank Brother God bless you

Love the truth spoken here! Go crazy for Jesus! 🙏🏼✝️🤪

Thank you, brother.

JP!!! Don't Waste Your Life famous message. One of the most important messages I've heard

Radical man. Radical. This has been my life. After college in 2010 I decided I wanted to be an actor. Took classes first time ever. Took me 2 years to move to LA. Lived in my car 5 years. Then I quit 5 years now I'm back again. Following my biggest dream. Not here to be comfortable. I'm here to make a difference. To take big risks. I've never been an American dream type guy I wanted the best. Got off track for a bit but I'm back. I wanna be the next Brad Pitt in Hollywood. And touch the world through my acting. No one can fathom what I've been thru. Ive always been convinced God had a reckless radical plan for me Not a safe life The best actors are the ones with the largest array of color on their painting pallate of life experiences..and over coming obstacles etc Not an easy life

Amazing sermon. This is the mindset I try to keep as I go through my journey into Ministry.

Thank you, Much love and respect!! Romans chptr12 v1,2

POWERFUL. FAITH IN OUR CREATOR FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT. THUS IN HIS LOVE IN HIS GRACE WE ABOUND. SHALOM

"My goal in life is not to stay alive"...what a statement

Let God be with him!

“It’s Friday”!! My favourite quote yet!! I loved this so much. At 5 hearing my Mum ask me to hand my life to Jesus, seemed...unfair. At 20 I thought that I was ready, but drifted right of track for 20 years. I bought the lies and whilst I had some ups, I had a lot more downs!! Now I joyfully push on into the next 40 (or likely less if Jesus returns) KNOWING that up or down, left or right, with Jesus. Like a great roller coaster that has the best “Friday” ever ahead...”good night” 😅😂😂 sorry Pastor John. I love that little exclamation of yours! Love and prayers to you all from Australia 🇦🇺

Hebrews 3:4, 7, 14-19 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he👈 that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?👈 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.👈

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

AMEN

Better to lose your life?? What horrific thing to say😮

"Better to lose my life than to waste it." Great phrase , just has NOTHING to do with YOUR interpretation of the Bible.

As a black male our brothers and sisters that are not black speak in ways that are foreign to us because we didn't have those opportunities as they did. So, John Piper's sermon was for that audience not for everyone maybe we could take some of those things in his sermon "Don't Waste your Life" and apply them but not every thing. I went to the military fresh out of HS because my mother couldn't afford to help me with college and even though I had scholarships to go to college then need to make money and help myself and my family was greater than the need to go to college. I did go to college later in life but our priorities as black people are totally different than most white people and even more so as Christians.

As a black Christian woman, I respectfully disagree with this: "John Piper's sermon was for that audience not for everyone". Although, I acknowledge your background and the fact that you believe your full comment above. I do think if you are going to write your view on this sermon and its message it is better to speak for your own self and experience (as you included) instead of also speaking for the black community as a whole. There is also an assumption you have made which is that black people were not in that audience (implied by your opening and subsequent sentence) and that John Piper was speaking to a certain group of people instead of all people regardless of colour, background and opportunities. With that said, I pray you did take some incredible pointers from the sermon anyway. God bless you and in the love of Christ, J
