This sermon, very much like the Gospel, applies to us soooo much in this current generation today. Even now it is even worse. Ephesians 6:12 is very much present. We are at war, not with flesh blood though. Glory to God. Let us keep watch and pray.

Who would have thought that everything he preached on in this message about this world would have gotten worse exponentially

may we elevate You Lord and submit ourselves to You so we can do what we can for You like we were made to do!

As applicable today as in 1988 - probably more so. God's word...the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

May the Lord bless everyone from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! This sermon reminds me of what we're living in these last days. Thanks for sharing that!

Thank you for all these episodes, what a blessing, and that from God alone. None of this came from man, for it is impossible for John Piper to know my very need today, but God knows, and He is so amazing, God comes to me in the preacher and feeds my soul. To God be all the glory!!

Amen Sherry. The Lord is wonderful to provide these resources. God is indescribably awesome, and the more we learn about him the more awesome he is seen to be! It just never ends! It is so awesome to contemplate that it never will, it will just keep getting better, and better, and better for eternity- it is so beyond words... All praises to the glory of his grace! Amen.

Amen to God's grace in Christ. And pro- Jesus in Christ to reveal a renewing a God-Centered life. Allow God to put Jesus of our lives according to God's will and His timing. Ephesians 2:8-9 and 2 Corinthians 12:9. God is God. We are not God but His beloved children of God in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( James 3:13-18( Two kinds of wisdom); James 4:1-17( Submit Yourselves to God); Matthew 28:19-20😊❤and Romans 8:28). Amen.

James 1:1( Introduction) "1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ( 😊1st❤). To the twelve tribe Scattered among the nations: Greetings. James 1:2-18( Trails and temptation) "2 Consider it pure joy😊 my brothers, whenever you face trails of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance(😊❤). 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you be mature😊❤ and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of your lack wisdom, he should ask God( = prayer in Christ) who gives generiously to all who without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe( trust)(❤😊) and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receives anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double- minded man, unstable in all he does. 9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and witherd the plant; it blossome falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. 12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trails, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempted anyone; 14 but each one is temptes when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; amd sin, when it is full- grown, gives birth to death. 16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 17 Every good😊❤ and perfect gift😊❤ is from above😊❤, coming down from the Father( God( 😊100%❤ ) our Father in heaven) of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth😊❤ through the word❤😊 of truth😊❤, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created."( James 1:2-18 Trails and temptation Zondervan NIV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus( 😊1st❤). In Jesus'name, i pray( James 1:1-18 😊❤) Amen.

So good
