Thank you for this message. Finally had the courage to start donating to world wide causes. Its not about what I have but what I have that can bring good to peoples lives.
2:18-3:00 IS THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF SEVERE DEPRESSION BEING EXPLAINED TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT IT. (ALTHOUGH we KNOW he is speaking on the calling of a missionary) That explination is ASTOUNDINGLY accurate for a depression sufferer. For some depression patients with other mental challenges added to their suffering, pampering, and catering to "special needs" may be very benificial. To a mentally depressed person with no lack of intelligence this is the "ultimate slap in the face". While NOT opposed to man made medicine ENTIRELY when you walk into dozens of different Dr's offices as they scribble their notes and have NO HOPE themselves of which "flavor" skittles MAY just do it for you, this is well basically like throwing gasoline on an open fire. In the sense its depressing knowing people have studied up to 8 years of their lives in pshycie and medicine and the human brain, and are as "lost" as you about it. Maybe this is a time when Christians let their "intelligence" and "own understanding" ACTUALLY BLOCK them from letting go and letting GOD ?? I am "mostly" speaking to self here, although while TRUE BIBLICAL faith in God is being "watered down" by the very Christians teaching the gospel around you. Well, once again like "throwing gas on fire" of the opposite of faith? Read that twice if need be. If I am "nuts" in my thinking here JUST SAY SO offending me is something NOT easily done, FIRE AWAY. I am COMPLETELY open to "suggestions" which with little understanding of severe depression from Doctors and experts, why that in itself is "depressing" ha ha but NO PUN INTENDED. Maybe GOD has truly chosen me WAY MORE than I even can fathom? Maybe God is going to "use" my life to increase the FAITH of his very people AND the non-Christian medical world by showing us all HOW MUCH GREATER IS HE THAN THEE? Maybe rather than "cure" me he is going to sow us both the TRUE Joy and Happiness he absolutly can bring the MOST SEVERELY un-happy?? Maybe the un-prosperous person WILL become amazingly prosperous yhrough God NOT for personal gain but for Gods glory and purpose? Your "beliefs" and such are VERY powerful and absolutely effect ones life. God is SO MUCH BIGGER THAN WHAT WE KNOW AND BELIEVE. I don't know, I DO KNOW "white knuckling" it through life "hiding" it has proven unsuccessful, I know "self-medicating" to be more damaging than good, physically, morrally, and spiritually. I have done things that "TEAR" at my soul, things I NEVER FATHOMED. Things that "sicken" myself to live with, ALL OF WHICH ARE KNOWN. God IS the ONLY TRUE HOPE. Guide me, correctly I pray, and let us ALL learn from God. Willing to DO whatever it takes!! Even attempting to "please man" while simultaneously "ignoring man" while keeping COMPLETE faith in God. Amen (forgive me I NEVER MEANT ANY HARM TO ANYONE) You try these "shoes" on for awhile!! Thank You for EVERYTHING, I "think" lol also debatable.
I CHOOOSE SUFFERING !!! BUT ONLY FOR CHRIST NO LONGER DEPRESSION OR MAN!!! BEFORE GOD I WAS A LIER, THIEF, CHEATER, SCUM OF THE EARTH, DUE TO MY DEPRESSION AND ADDICTIONS ONLY, THESE NEGATIVE MANIFESTATIONS WERE ONLY BY PRODUCTS OF SAID DEPRESSION (COULD CARE LESS WHO BELIEVES THAT) I COULD REALLY USE A JOB I DONT CARE WHAT WITH NO TRANSPORTAION CLOSE TO HOME WOULD BE LOVELY. ADD SHAME, REGRET, AND MAN-MADE OBSTACLES TO YOUR JOURNEY TO THE KINGDOM SHEESH (NO SYMPATHY REQUIRED OR IN ANY WAY DESIRED) GOD FORGIVE ME FOR LETTING MAN DETERIORATE MY FAITH I CHOOSE TO ALWAYS KEEP GOING !!! WHATS THIS MANS NAME !!!! HOLY SPIRIT PREACHING UNDOUBTEDLY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HOLLYWOOD'S BEST CAN'T RE-CREATE. AMEN
Romans 10:1-3 (Paul speaking of his fellow Jews who do not trust in Christ as Savior and Lord) "Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness." It is not only possible, but sadly all too common, to believe in (or have knowledge of) God and yet be lost. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. (See Romans and Ephesians and the Gospels and all of the rest of Scripture.)

I found this sermon searching for answers to Luke 57-62. You're an awesome teacher, thank you for answering ALL of my questions. I am so saddened by the journey you have taken. I always thought that people who are not given an opportunity to know and follow Christ will be joined with Him in eternity. Am I wrong??
HE ONLY KNOWS HOW TO PREACH GUILT. ITS SHAMEFUL. DAVID PLATT GETS IT WRONG. Social Justice is a Blank Check for Abuse of Government Power & Less Feedom, and Contradicts the Bible. Thomas Sowell fee.org/articles/thomas-sowell-social-justice-philosophy-is-a-blank-check-for-government-power/ "In politics, the great non-sequitur of our time is that 1) things are not right and that 2) the government should make them right. Where right all too often means cosmic justice, trying to set things right means writing a blank check for a never-ending expansion of government power." For the social justice warrior, equality of treatment under the law is not a sufficient condition to achieve justice What Do Social Justice Warriors Want? To make this a reality, processes need to be put in place, according to social justice theory, so that outcomes - such as income level, unemployment rates, leadership positions, etc - are equalized regardless of one's starting point or demographic trait. Any deviation from 'equalized' outcomes suppossedly proves in the eyes of social justice that some form of social injustice- racism, sexism, capitlalist greed- must be the culprit. The quest for social justice “focuses on one segment of the population and disregards the interests of others." Sowell takes issue with such thinking. He believes it is the actions and policies in search of equal outcomes, along with their results, that need to be judged by an ethical evaluation of justice. Injustice of Social Justice John MacArthur www.gty.org/library/blog/B180907 Today, critical race theory, feminism, intersectional theory, LGBT advocacy, progressive immigration policies, animal rights, and other left-wing political causes are all actively vying for evangelical acceptance under the rubric of “social justice.” Not every evangelical leader currently talking about social justice supports the full spectrum of radical causes, of course. Most (for the moment, at least) do not. But they are using the same rhetoric and rationale of victimhood and oppression that is relentlessly employed by secularists who are aggressively advocating for all kinds of deviant lifestyles and ideologies. Anyone who claims victim status can easily and effectually harness the emotional appeal of a plea for “social justice” both to gain support and to silence opposition. Indeed, as social justice rhetoric has gained currency among evangelicals, just about every cause that is deemed politically correct in the secular world is steadily gaining momentum among evangelicals. It would be folly to pretend the social justice movement poses no threat whatsoever to evangelical conviction. Evangelicals seldom explicitly define what they mean by “social justice”-possibly because if they gave an accurate definition of where that term came from and what it means in the secular academy, they might lose a lot of evangelical support. Countless critics have pointed out that the rhetoric of “social justice” is deeply rooted in Gramscian Marxism. For many decades, “social justice” has been employed as political shorthand by radical leftists as a way of calling for equal distribution of wealth, advantages, privileges, and benefits-up to and including pure Marxist socialism. Undermining Justice & the Gospel. E. Calvin Beisner downloads.frc.org/EF/EF13E133.pdf The Bible Does Not Demand Wealth Redistribution or Equalization Progressives most commonly appeal to certain passages as proof that Christianity warrants redistribution or equalization of wealth. None does so. Yet many people still insist that the basic Biblical principle of justice does require redistribution. When people speak of social justice, they mean a social order that aims at equality of opportunity or even of outcome. But this equality of either opportunity or outcome can be achieved only by violating the very criteria of Biblical justice- impartiality, proportionality, desert, and conformity with a righteous standard. Yet, “equality of outcome” is the primary sense in which the Progressive movement has used the term for over a century. This sort of “social justice” necessarily asserts positive rights and leads inexorably to the violation of negative rights. In this sense, “social justice” is really, by Biblical criteria, injustice.
Hi Bobbi, I know this comment is coming late but I suppose to help answering that question, we can look to Romans 10, verses 14 and onward, where Paul writes: "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? and how are they to hear without someone preaching?" Basically, this passage says salvation can only come from faith in Jesus, which only can come if you've heard the Gospel spoken. That's why David Platt so emphasizes the Great Commission. I hope this helps in some way. Blessings!
Shalom from Nepal. love you all people of Christ

God makes himself known to all mankind. You may think they've never heard the gospel, but they know who god is.
