OK listen up!! I've done the reading & John Calvin REPENTED for having convicted for having condemned the man. Later on he saw he was wrong so cut the guy a break! And as a reformer myself I'm kinda upset that you anabaptists treat us like we condoned Calvin's act! We don't! We just think his "Institutes if The Christian Religion" was a good book!
People's hatred for God runs so deep that they'll do ANYTHING (including strapping a bomb to their chest) to distance themselves from Him. What they don't realize is that one day we will ALL stand before God Himself.
John Piper has had a major influence on my life. He taught me so many things, like teaching me about true joy. True joy comes from living life to the glory of God, may these two ladies figure this out before it's too late.
What on earth are you talking about John?! John Calvin's life bore clear evidence of salvation! You need to read: "John Calvin & His Passion for The Majesty of God" by John Piper.
Excuse me Sermon Audio Staff, I just wanted to drop a note saying thank you for the wonderful app, these sermons have been a very rich blessing. That and I know this isn't part of the news post, but what criteria must a sermon fit in order to be a staff pick? (I was just wondering because I have heard some really good sermons and I'm left scratching my head wondering why they aren't chosen) Thank you!
Hey guys, I know I'm the youngest here, and that I should listen more than talk, but it's almost New Years and this New Year I want to challenge you. Today I received my "Voice of The Martyrs" magazine subscription, and you would not believe the tortures our overseas brothers and sisters go through. VOM challenged me to pray for them. Hebrews 13:3 says "Remember them that are in bonds". I challenge you to go to i commit to pray.com create an account (allowing you to view prayer requests and post your prayers) and let's begin 2014 by praying for those who are in hostile countries suffering rejection from friends and family, suffering unimaginable pain for our Lord.
Thank you everyone for your encouragements and warnings. I feel as if God may be calling me to do some ministry work, i'm not sure, for now I'll pray and ask God if that's His will.
Brethren, my burden is for the lost. I woke up today thinking about hell. You know what haunts my worst nightmares? It's where Jesus says MANY will take the road to hell and FEW will take the road to heaven. FEW!!! Think about it!! I'm scared to think that someone I know and live could be one of the many going to hell! I walk around my town and I see people just living an average self centered life thinking more about their pets than they do about eternity! I can't stop thinking about people who get suckered by Joel Osteen telling them about their best life now! Brethren do you hear the cries of people sitting in hell?! Do you hear the people yelling LORD LORD?! And Jesus replying depart from Me, I never knew you?! That's what is on my heart, I feel sick thinking about the MANY going to hell. I just felt led to share that.
Whoops! Sorry Shane! Bottom post is mine I forgot to put my name! JSC: I was just trying to poke fun at gay marriage, beyond the fact that girls really are more beautiful, God HATES gay marriage because it's a perversion of His gift of marriage.
SteveR, look man I really appreciate you trying to be nice & all but observer here was trying to teach me an important lesson, lesson being forget Augustine, Calvin & all the rest and get back to the Bible. That's a lesson I needed to learn pretty bad. & no Steve observer is A WHOLE LOT more mature than I am, I haven't been given "more insight". Thank you observer!
