John Piper on the Prosperity Gospel

In classic Piper fashion, I watched this and wanted to love God more. It also made me sad because I know how frequently I love my treasures more than I treasure God. What a way to start my day.

Thanks for sharing such convicting and yet inspiring stuff.

I. LOVE. THAT. VIDEO.

I spammed all my family and friends with it. Hopefully they watched it.

Great video. I actually posted it on my blog a couple of months ago. I am also wondering if it's part of a sermon that is available for downloading. Does anyone know?

By the way, I check out your blog fairly regularly but this is the first time I've posted a comment.

Hey mate

Someone else sent it to me - hard to watch isn't it? I wonder if I'd be as enamoured with God if something happened like that. But a great take on the whole issue

Amen! Amen! And amen.

Thank you for pointing us all to Christ.

And thank God for Pastor Piper! Our daughter has been praying for him since before she was two years old and we started doing his "Taste & See" devotional readings as a family.

May Christ be lifted up!

Thanks again for your ministry--so happy to have found your blog through Pastor JollyBlogger.

Your sister in Christ,
Tara B.
