This is great... A lot of people these days are trying so hard to find happiness, while in this video you see Mr. Piper simply finding great joy in the taco bar!! When you find joy in Jesus, you aren't searching for happiness in this world. Therefore little things most people wouldn't even think twice about (like the 3.99 taco bar) can just be something to truly enjoy.
Man! John Piper is such an amazing man of God. Just seeing how much he loves God is beautiful. Plus he seems like such a down-to-earth guy when he talked about how he rests, and how a big part of it is enjoying God.
Wow! I need to respect the principle of the Sabbath. My life shows that I don't. i.e. stress, depression, etc. I should have listened to my elder earlier. And I did not know that John Piper runs!
No one can fully comprehend God. Because He is greater...the creation can never fully understand the creator, it's the other way around. Isn't that the way we want it? If we fully understood God that would mean we would be equal to, or greater than Him. If we were equal to God or greater, we would see Him as equal or lesser, and we would never worship Him. Not understanding every aspect of God and His Word is a good thing, that is one way, out of many, that we know He is truly who He says He is.
Thank you for the verses. The passage shows that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it because, as the Scriptures that I gave you before, show that we cannot fulfill the Law, but Jesus could and did. Concerning verse 18, this verse shows us that when Jesus said this there were still not part of the Law fulfilled. i.e. His death, His resurrection, etc. Verse 19, prompts us to look at the previous passages because we are to lives those out, that is the Sermon on the Mount.
Very true. The Bible is jam-packed with such things. What's worse is when they say "you have to read it in context" as if that makes infanticide any less despicable.
You ever just ask the Holy Spirit for comfort like Jesus promised he would provide? Like receiving in real-time? What do people think the Holy Spirit is here for??
No, he didn't, but he had to have supported it, because he stated quite categorically that all the old laws were to be strictly adhered to and anyone who didn't or who encouraged others not to were to be considered the lowest of the low.
@CambridgeHeights God's word says that the heart is decietfully wicked,(Jer 17:9) and for us to Not lean on our own understanding. (proverbs 3:5-6) But you are trusting your wicked heart and leaning on your own understanding. ONce again i ask you to provide me with scripture
1/2. I can easily give you the scripture quote. The Capitals are mine. It's Matthew 5: 17-19 17. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I HAVE NOT COME TO ABOLISH THEM BUT TO FULFIL THEM. 18. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, NOT THE SMALLEST LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF A PEN, WILL BY ANY MEANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW until everything is accomplished. Cont'd.
Well Jesus fulfilled the law through His life and ministry because no human can fulfill the requirements of God to be wholly righteous and holy before God (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25). That is why Jesus had to die for our sins, because we cannot be morally perfect in God's eyes. So Jesus fulfilled it on our behalf and took our place on the cross for those who believe. Can you elaborate on the last part of your comment about the lowest of the lows, maybe give me a Scripture, please?
Based on these comments, I'm seeing some pretty intense praise - almost worship - of this man. Seems pretty cult-like to me. Then again, what religion isn't?
I've read all of the bible, many times over the last 60 yrs. I have many bibles, including interlinear Greek Old and New Testaments. As you said, it's all in the interpretation. Like saying: "The Devil is in the Detail." That is the problem. Only by fantastic efforts of mental gymnastics of interpretation and re-interpretation can the bible be made to have any sense. And every one of the 30,000 flavours of Christianity thinks that their particular interpretation is the true one. I rest my case.
@CambridgeHeights You can falsley accuse me all you would like. But you clearly have no biblical proof for such a statement. That the catholic church is the true Church.
Of course no-one understands the whole bible and, to paraphrase your own words, that alone does not make it NOT the word of god, but after nearly 60 yrs of reading it, if it is the word of god, then he cannot be the omniscient being that his followers believe him to be. The Bible is riddled with so many contradictions and inaccuracies, it is less cohesive than your average novel. However, if you accept god doesn't exist, then the Bible makes perfect sense, It is just a book of myths and legends.
How convenient. It still amazes me that the only way christians can make their bible have any sense at all, is by indulging in fantastic mental gymnastics of wild interpretation and re-interpretation until it sort of fits what they want to believe. They don't seem to get it, but if you start from the premise that god doesn't exist. Everything in the bible makes sense. It's just a fictional storybook of myths and legends. No more historically accurate than Homer's Odyssey.
Nothing is "passing clear" in the bible. It is just a book of myths and legends. As for not engaging in mental Gymnastics, According to your bible, Jesus himself said he did not come to get rid of the old laws, but to enforce them and anyone who teaches otherwise, like you are doing, would be considered the lowest of the low. Matthew 5:17-19. Do you guys ever read all of your bibles, or just the nice bits? It must be nice to junk the bits you don't like.
When he gets hype about the 3.99 salad/taco bar it's too funny!! Haha good stuff
i laughed out loud. it's like 5am here and I'm up in pain, you were right! What a great Brother; All Glory to YHWH
He's a trip haha. Very silly. :)
He's such a vessel of God's love and you can see how much a child he is at heart in that he's humble to God. It's beautiful, God bless him.
He's amazing 😂
haha. thats me until old country went out of business

Well said and true!

Old Country Buffet advertisement is what the interview turned into! LOL! :D
what a blessed man!!
I love this man. Especially the Christ in him.
I love this idea of God wanting us to rest--I freelance and I love Sundays just for the fact that I get to be at church, with my family, and NOT work.
He's awesome. I have always loved seeing how he lights up when he talks about Noel...
I love this man.
Wow! I need to respect the principle of the Sabbath. My life shows that I don't. i.e. stress, depression, etc. I should have listened to my elder earlier. And I did not know that John Piper runs!
I think John Piper is a Taco Hedonist 😂😂😂
Comment of the year right there! Thanks. I needed the laugh.
Notice how he didn't say "stress" and "worry" were productive--our rest is found in Jesus! Matthew 6:25-34
Jesus is the Sabbath. Thank God.
What a blessing to listen to this man, God given wisdom. Piper, you are a joy to follow.

haha,,this guy is cool! Seems to be balanced and has a good view on stress and unwinding too.
I like what he said at the end. We need pressure to be productive. I sure do.
Wonderful man

Thank me in the replies.

Extremes are easy, balance is hard. So many have left careers and ministry because of burn out.
Shut the door up, stay with God alone. Enjoy peace and joy with God.
This is the most lit thing I have ever seen in my life. That taco bar sounds absolutely 🔥.
What a beautiful day off lol
may we find our rest in you Lord
Have to be ever vigilant in this war against Satan. Get attacked in my sleep, it’s annoying!
Yes I pray to Jesus.
Very true. The Bible is jam-packed with such things.
What's worse is when they say "you have to read it in context" as if that makes infanticide any less despicable.
does anyone know what city Mr John Piper preaches in...?
Do you do full contact karate Pastor Piper?
i love the thumbnail 🤙
Does this respecting of the principle of the sabbath including stoning to death anyone you find working on the sabbath?
👍
Wish I didn't have to set my alarm for Monday morning lol.
No, good question though! Throughout Jesus life and ministry on earth in a human body he did not stone anyone.
You ever just ask the Holy Spirit for comfort like Jesus promised he would provide? Like receiving in real-time? What do people think the Holy Spirit is here for??
No, he didn't, but he had to have supported it, because he stated quite categorically that all the old laws were to be strictly adhered to and anyone who didn't or who encouraged others not to were to be considered the lowest of the low.

I usually masturbate or smoke some drugs.
But I think Johns methods are cool too.
Philippians 4:6and7
@CambridgeHeights The catholic church huh? Please explain how the catholic theology could ever save anyone?
A beer and a cigarette.
"i LOVE Taking My WIFE...!")
@CambridgeHeights catholic means universal if we are in Christ we are a part of his true church. Read I Corinthians 6:19

@SeedsOfHatred lose*
@CambridgeHeights You can falsley accuse me all you would like. But you clearly have no biblical proof for such a statement. That the catholic church is the true Church.
It says meditate on His word, not on the earth and the universe.
Preach!!
Ecclesiastes 3:13
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Of course no-one understands the whole bible and, to paraphrase your own words, that alone does not make it NOT the word of god, but after nearly 60 yrs of reading it, if it is the word of god, then he cannot be the omniscient being that his followers believe him to be.

what do salad/bar tacos have to do with a christian work.
Brian mason It's not about Christian work, it's about relaxation and enjoyment.
whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31)
@@stevemeng2554
Then you enjoy the food to the glory of God.
How convenient.

It must be nice to junk the bits you don't like.
I relax by pointing out that theists have no evidence for god on TH-cam videos.
Nicholas Flamel what an edgy atheist comment nice bro
Y a wrong.
Sad, you spend so much time worrying about us LOL worry about your soul and where it's going after !
What a sad thing to say. I really feel bad for you.
