You mean: you would hope that people would actually consider the substance of what you have to say, and interact meaningfully with it instead of just making two-penny personal attacks? I thought you would have learned better, Bryan. You've been on the TMB long enough.
By the way, I thought the first video was most interesting. The user comments were very thought-provoking and refreshingly spiritual. Thanks for the link. Enjoyed it.

Well, Bryan, how many threads around here stay on track ...or go off track at least once or twice? C'mon..it was just a comment, not even an attack (as GIT was saying) Sheesh. M.

I can't say I really like Piper's preaching style, or the contemporary music in the background, but I do agree with Piper's views.
The "Prosperity Gospel" as preached by Paula White and other individuals who aspire to large congregations and luxury condos is an offence to me. I despise it with a passion. It empties the cross of its purpose and point, and makes the treasures of this world more important than the riches of the glory that shines from the face of Jesus Christ.
There is a terrible judgement awaiting all those who preach such a hopeless message.

I can't say I really like Piper's preaching style Having watched more then my fair share of piper videos and found him to be a very reverent preacher, I'm interested in knowing what aspect of his style you don't like... Have you read/watched much of piper? His website is www.desiringgod.org

He said something about suffering being ordered by love? I dont get that. God doesnt order suffering. He may allow it but he doesnt order it!!!!!
Hopefully I heard it wrong.

i have to boast here, but you want the truth? i, personally don't care too much for preachers on tv.... not that God can't use them, as no voice is without significance..... but i could pray, and get the same message from God via "speaking in tongues" from 3 half commercials and 5 minutes of Gilligan's Island, if i needed it.
its the Spirit that quickeneth.

John Piper...Bryan's hero...a new form of "worker worship"! After watching the two videos, this is what you have to say? Actually, I saw it was John Piper and it was from you... What I would really like to read from you, is something in your own words that tells of your own spiritual journey and what your thoughts are dwelling on and how it has/will change/feed/etc you! ...something that is of value...in your own words...

Nothing to do with you at all, Randy. I love you as a fellow human being, as I love all......but I don't need anyone putting romantic "i love you" words in my mouth! Syd's just being a snot. Those words are reserved for only certain people in my life! Mich

He is not "on TV." He is an actual person who give a free gospel online and contends for the faith. He preaches Jesus. He writes books, too. The one I am reading is about evangelism and missionary work, making disciples of all the nations and peoples. It's called, "Don't Waste your Life." Christ's Forever, Jessi
