In this sermon "The Pain of the World and the Purposes of God," Pastor John Piper addresses the difficult question of why God allows suffering in the world. He begins by acknowledging that the problem of suffering is a real one, and that it is often difficult to reconcile with our belief in a loving and all-powerful God. Piper then goes on to offer four reasons why God might allow suffering in the world: To display his glory. Piper argues that the suffering of the world is a parable of the horrors of sin. It shows us how evil sin is, and how much we need to be saved from it. To conform us to the image of Christ. Piper teaches that suffering can help us to become more like Christ, who suffered and died for our sins. When we suffer, we learn to rely on God, to forgive others, and to love our enemies. To provide opportunities for compassion and service. Piper argues that suffering can create opportunities for us to show compassion and mercy to others. When we suffer, we are more likely to empathize with those who are suffering, and we are more likely to be moved to help them. To prepare us for eternal glory. Piper reminds us that this life is temporary, and that suffering will one day be abolished. When we suffer in this life, we are storing up treasures for the afterlife, where we will experience perfect joy and peace. Piper concludes by acknowledging that the problem of suffering is still a mystery, but that we can trust that God is good and that he is working all things together for our good. In summary, Piper says that God allows suffering in the world to display his glory, to conform us to the image of Christ, to provide opportunities for compassion and service, and to prepare us for eternal glory.

198 Divine Productivity with Matt Perman   “Our people must learn to do good deeds to meet necessary demands [whatever the occasion may require], so that they will not be unproductive.” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭AMP‬‬   “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1:5-9‬ ‭NIV‬‬   Matt Perman is author of the best-selling book What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done and is a frequent speaker on leadership, work, and theology from a gospel-centered perspective. He has worked at Desiring God Ministries as director of strategy and The King's College NYC as director of career development. Currently he is a manager of strategy at Bed Bath & Beyond. He received his M.Div. in biblical and theological studies from Southern Seminary and lives in New York City. He blogs at whatsbestnext.com.    Questions we discuss: What exactly does God have to say about productivity and why do you think He cares about it? You teach is "Productivity is a fruit of the Holy Spirit." Will you say more about that? How do we recognize if we've gone too far focusing only on productivity?   Thank You to Our Sponsor:  Sam Leman Eureka   Connect with The Savvy Sauce on Facebook or Instagram or Our Website   Please help us out by sharing this episode with a friend, leaving a 5-star rating and review, and subscribing to this podcast!

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

It is rare that I (Zach) am disappointed in an episode that we have recorded of The Vine Conversations podcast. But after having recorded 56 episodes as of today, this one has to be in the top 3. That recommendation should be enough to convince you to listen! Don't judge a podcast by its title! The title above might sound boring but as you hear where the conversation goes you will be quickly convinced that this issue is vital to our discipleship as followers of the Triune God. Dr. Kelly M. Kapic is professor of theological studies at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where he has taught since 2001. You can find Dr. Kapic's books that we talk about in this episode here: You're Only Human: https://amzn.to/3JQkkP7 Overcoming Sin and Temptation: https://amzn.to/3LzGTIp Embodied Hope: A Theological Meditation on Pain and Suffering: https://amzn.to/3Nyc3BE Communion With The Triune God: https://amzn.to/3NG13Cu Here is the article from Desiring God Ministries that he references in this episode: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/on-the-mortification-of-sin

For those of us who are still recovering from losing an hour of sleep, greetings Monday, as it isn't very happy today. However, if overpaying for your caffeine doesn't make your morning better, hearing this weeks episode of The Cruciformed Life Podcast surely will as you listen about how we are the equivalent of a wet towel at making reconciliation happen in our relationships. Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones says the following in regards to making reconciliation a priority vs. going through the motions: “Ceremony, regular attendance at worship, and giving will never produce a clear conscience. If we are at odds with others because of our actions and are unwilling to do anything about it, attendance at a worship service is an exercise in hypocritical futility.” Join us today as we challenge ourselves and all who listen to heed these precious commands in Matthew 5 to lower ourselves and care for our relationships in our every day walk. Not to mention, there is a special surprise for those of us that are fans of John Piper. You're going to love this episode and make sure you're back next week as we have another special guest!

Is fear something that you have felt overtaking your life?Particularly over the last two years fear is something that has run rampant in the hearts, minds, and souls of many. While there is no doubt that we live in a fallen world full of sickness, pain, darkness, and many reasons to believe that fear is essential, what's truly essential is that we keep our fear in check and get intentional about having a healthy relationship with fear. Today on abiding free we are delving into three different types of fear; Fear of man, fear of COVID, and fear of evil. All of these legitimate reasons for concern. But do we let that fear drive us, or to draw us closer to the Father? Is fear paralyzing you or propelling you to take action and live a life walking with Jesus? As Marshall Segal on Desiring God Ministries said, “Only when God becomes our biggest fear can He become our safest place.” Our hope today is that you walk away from this episode feeling encouraged to put your fear in check so that it is healthy, and ultimately drives you one step closer to walking in true freedom. Thank you for joining us today on Abiding Free.Episode Highlights: Startling statistics about fear.The danger of fearing people.The danger of fearing COVID.The fear of evil or government corruptness.How a healthy fear brings freedom.Why a healthy fear of God is essential in life.Find More on Abiding Free:C.

When the Holy Spirit cultivates His fruit in our lives, He often works in ways we would never pray for (Galatians 5:22–23). To grow the fruit of love in us, He may give us an enemy; to grow the fruit of peace, He may allow conflict to come near. And to grow the fruit of faithfulness, He may send us to “forgotten places”. Scott Hubbard from Desiring God Ministries joins us to talk about what that looks like and how God uses these assignments in the 7 am hour.  Plus, the Christian faith extends beyond our personal experiences, our individual churches, and far beyond our present age. This, for the Christian, is great news! When we become acquainted with the legacy of our Christian heritage, we connect our stories to those of the faithful believers who have come before us. Church history is in many ways the lifeblood of our faith. God working in real time. It glorifies Him and encourages us (Hebrews 12:1-2)! Nathan Busenitz from The Master's Seminary weighs in on this in the 8 am hour.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 5 – Jeff Maness – September 7, 2018 A convincing faith is not found in what I say, a convincing faith is found in what I show. No, we do not have a works based salvation, but make no mistake about it, we should have salvation based works that are shown to the world around us. So, what kind of faith should we show to the world? Fences: Faith Big Idea: A convincing faith is not found in what I say, a convincing faith is found in what I show. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Ephesians 2:10 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. 1 Corinthians 4:20 20 For the Kingdom of God (faith) is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God's power. Big Question: What kind of faith do I need to show? Main Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-12 1 Peter 2:9-11 9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 10 “Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God's people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God's mercy.” 11 Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. 1. I need to show a protected faith 1 Peter 2:12a 12 Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. 2. I need to show a public faith 2 Matthew 5:14-16 14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see,… John 17:15-18 15 I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. 16 They do not belong to this world any more than I do. 17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. 18 Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. We've been rescued from the darkness and given the Light not merely to flee the darkness, but to guide our steps as we go back in to rescue others. — David Mathis, Desiring God Ministries 1 Peter 2:12b 12b Then (after living properly among your unbelieving neighbors) even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. Matthew 5:16 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Parenting at it’s most basic level is guiding the next generation to love what God loves. Pastor John Piper has built his ministry around the transformative idea that God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him. Scott Anderson, CEO of Piper’s Desiring God Ministries, inspires parents in the practical ways to desire God and make one’s greatest love, ambition and satisfaction be in Jesus – not easy to do in a world that is constantly offering alternatives. We are joined in the studio with David Goodwin, president of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools, a frequent guest on the show. We invite you to listen in...

Dr. Sam Storms, pastor of Bridgeway Baptist Church in Oklahoma and serving on the board with Desiring God Ministries, takes a different approach to interpreting 2 Peter 3:9 than many online Calvinists are taking these days.  He also argues that the natural, sinful tendency of mankind is to try and take credit for our salvation which is why many are "Arminians" naturally. Professor Flowers destroys this notion in today's podcast.  Let's dive in.    For more go to www.soteriology101.com
