- John Piper discusses how Tim Keller's preaching about the dangers of legalism and libertinism can be effective in evangelizing unbelievers. By warning lawless individuals of the negative consequences of legalism, Keller helps to bring them closer to the faith. Piper stresses the importance of finding this balance in order to reach those who may be opposed to religion.

I am thankful for Timothy Keller and Gospel in Life ministries, I'll miss hearing from Tim but I know God will continue to use what he shared with us before he left to be with Jesus
I was looking forward to hearing him expound on the gospel through every book of the Bible. The last one that he did was first and second Samuel.
Kellerism 101! Glad to see how even Piper was impacted by it as well as the rest of us! ❤🎉
Wow!! No wonder I was so drawn to Keller’s preaching particular his study on Galatian’s. The only way to live the gospel is to live it out with liberty..
both of you are huuuge inspirations for me! thank you for this message, pr. john ❤
my two favorite guys, whatever St Agustin and St Thomas are to catholics these two are to me🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I am grateful for the life of Tim, Cathy, and the Gospel in Life Ministry for they pointed me to Jesus Christ my Redeemer so that I’ll live a life Loving Jesus and others pointing them to The True Lover of our soul, Jesus.
I appreciate this. This is also the impact I got from my first Tim Keller book, The Prodigal God.
His quote... Jesus is our "true elder brother" grabbed a hold of me
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf
Two wonderful modern-day saints.
John you are a smart man but so blind that I’m John 3:16 it says that Jesus does for the sins of the world. That WHOso ever should believe in Him would never perish. One day I asked God to reveal His truth to me about this and this verse played over in my head. You are wrong about election…. We are ALL given EQUAL chance to Believe in Him. The difference is that He already knows who will.
John 316 does not say Whosoever.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yes. Certain people are pre-written for destruction they have no chance. People don’t believe because they’re not Jesus sheep. John 10😊
@@aletheia8054 man that's proof-texting if I've ever seen it. All means all and that's all all means.
@@paulcummings287 Apparently you never learned about a synecdoche
@@aletheia8054 nor you about epistemology
@@paulcummings287 Mark 1:37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
Did every single person on the planet seek for him? No. It’s called a synecdoche.
Knowing what a synecdoche is is part of epistemology .
Well said. Tim Keller had a knack for "brilliant insights". Thanks
Both of you are Generals. You are such Passionate Men of God that are both such examples of True Followers of Christ. Thank you.
"generals" ?
可以有弟兄姊妹用中文翻译一下大概意思吗？我没太明白。Can any brother or sister help translate in to Chinese briefly, I can't understand well. Thank you.
总而言之，Piper在讲解Keller之前说的一句话-这句话对Piper的讲道有非常大的影响。Keller说的是，你们给libertines(大概就是那些放纵情欲，随心所欲的人）讲道的时候应该警告他们警惕legalism（墨守法规，条文主义）。Piper刚听这话的时候觉得有点自相矛盾，但是后来想想便觉得颇具道理：因为，这些放纵情欲的人可能会当他们想改变自己的作为，往另一个方向走的时候，以为自己就应该非常挑剔地遵守律法的规条，但是，根据Piper所说的，讨神喜悦的生活方式不是条文主义 - 这也是罪，不要摆脱一种极端就陷入另一种极端。正确的解决办法是在福音的教导，圣灵的引导，包括其自由之下，跟随耶稣。大概就是这个意思。
这句话好像呼应了歌罗西书2章：“20 你们既然和基督一同死了，摆脱了世俗的玄学，为什么仍像活在世俗中， 21 服从“不可拿、不可尝、不可摸”之类的规条呢？ 22 这些规条不过是人的戒律和说教，经不起实践的考验， 23 看似充满智慧，其实只不过是自创的宗教、自表谦卑、苦待己身，对于克制邪情私欲毫无用处。“
（换句话说，条文主义的问题就是它其实跟享乐主义很相似：两个都以自己为主，重视的不是神的荣耀，而是自己的行为。正因如此，条文主义虽然在表面上看起来好像很虔诚，但是会带来很多的骄傲，以后造成很多的生活跟信仰的问题。）
@@josephf7315 感谢弟兄的详细解释！
I wonder how he did that.
So good!! Loved TK!!❤
Tim have told me this in his prodigal God. Much love.
Thank you John!
🤌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I love John Piper just as any other young, restless, reformed, lol! But, as I mourn Keller's departure to the Lord, without knowing the context of what he said, I don't think Keller meant what Piper got out of it. Let me explain, Keller's message to both libertines and gospel-less religious people, was that if Jesus life, death and resurrection is not our righteousness always and every day, something else is. Libertines will put their trust in their pleasures, loved ones, money, etc., and that Keller would call legalism, a different kind, but legalism nonetheless.
I hope John Piper speaks about how Tim Keller denied the Genesis account by believing in theistic evolution , and his Wokeness
I hope you find truth and repentance
Keller was a subversive who inserted himself into evangelicalism & literally altered the landscape. So very many are fooled by him.
