"If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumption, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved. Do not suppose that the Gospel is magnified or God glorified by going to the worldlings and telling them that they may be saved at this moment by simply accepting Christ as their Savior, while they are wedded to their idols, and their hearts are still in love with sin. If I do so I tell them a lie, pervert the Gospel , insult Christ, and turn the grace of God into lasciviousness."
"But there is further reason, and a pressing one today, why we should write upon our present subject, and that is to expose the modern and pernicious error of Dispensationalism. This is a device of the Enemy, designed to rob the children of no small part of that bread which their heavenly Father has provided for their souls; a device wherein the wily serpent appears as an angel of light, feigning to "make the Bible a new book" by simplifying much in it which perplexes the spiritually unlearned. It is sad to see how widely successful the devil has been by means of this subtle innovation." - by Arthur Pink
“Bring it on John Piper, Bring it on!”
aha! amen…
Loved the illustration John Piper gave concerning of “waking up” somebody.His messages are always full of insight.
I agree. His illustration was wonderful.
This message is a reminder of God’s unmerited favor. The Lord called me 3.5 years ago. He changed my life and made me anew. The past few months I started taking for granted what the Lord did for me. The first 3 years I was bouncing with joy and was so so grateful. I am not sure if people understood where I was coming from. I know people say it is a process, but I can attest that the Lord literally and radically turned my life around in a nano-second of faith from a life steeped in the world. What a blessed reminder. I think this my be the first time I have heard of John Piper, I finally have had the priviledge to hear him.
Amen!!
I sure related to John Piper’s example of someone calling “GET UP!”. That’s how it happened to me. One second i was blind, the next i could see.
Hallelujah
