John Piper | – The Courage We Need for Mission // Ask Pastor John
Please share this video to view it
God’s providence isn’t an obstacle to evangelism and missions. It is, instead, our only hope to see the good news of the gospel reach all nations.
One year ago today, health officials in the United States confirmed COVID case number one thousand. What a year since. In uncertain times, like the ones we live in today, it’s especially relevant to ponder God’s providence, the theme of Pastor John’s new book by that title, ‘Providence.’ The reassuring truth of Scripture is that God’s sovereign decree governs over everything — over every virus, and over every nation, and over every human ruler. He does this to bring about his final purpose and end. Such an awesome doctrine, when we see it and delight in it, can make a very deep and definite impact on how we live, even down to how we fulfill our mission on earth. It’s one of ten implications Pastor John is focusing on in this little Wednesday series on the podcast. Last time, in episode 1595, we looked at how God’s providence gives us the confidence that God has the right and the power to answer our prayers. Providence gives us confidence to pray. That was implication number eight. Here now with implication number nine is Pastor John.

AMEN
Amen
The two questions i have been struggling with since accepting the truth of God's providence-prayer and evangelism has been so very well answered. Thank you Pastor John. God bless you.
the scriptures are so full of wisdom, learning God's teaching through Pastor John's sermons is truly fruitful and fulfilling.
Wat would be good books to read about evangalisation? I mean which van Hove good insight on the nature of evangalisation?
Can i ask something, if a person commits heinous crimes in his life, making the innocent suffer also leading to their destruction and downfall because of the trauma and if this person at his deathbed before their death accepts Jesus and repent and gets saved how is that just?
Say focused upon Christ.

To anyone reading this and willing — please pray for me and my young son.. I’m walking through the darkest season of my life. A “man of God” convinced me he was going to marry me, to leave a job I can’t go back to, and to move out of state to his state… and then dumped me. I don’t know where I’m going to live, I don’t have much family.. and I’m struggling with a broken heart and crushed spirit
Idk how to feel. I am a Christian and trust me I've heard and read scriptures of God saying we are beautiful and wonderfully and fearfully made. However I hate my life and my self and it doesn't matter what people tell me because always I find my self thinking God did a bad job with me. It's been a lifelong feeling of hate and emptiness for my part. I hated my race being a Filipino and people can tell me it is beautiful that God thinks it's beautiful but it doesn't work on me im still in a downward spiral of hurt and hating my self. I hated that God made me a Filipino, I hated that God made me look the way I do. I am ugly and unattractive for a girl and I understand its the heart that counts but doesn't mean it doesn't hurt even to just a small extent, it does. It really does. People can say God thinks your beautiful I get that but that doesn't stop the pain. I read through scriptures that God does not look on. A person's outward appearance still it feels disheartening because the very God who says this is also the very God who made such very beautiful people to occupy this earth, people he also dearly loves, people who are seen and appreciated by many. And I also get told you never know how a person is despite them being beautiful maybe they have a rotten heart, but whose to say maybe God just gifted them with great beauty and they also have kind loving hearts inside making them beautiful inside and out. I feel at times wanting to kill my self. I do not accept God's decision over my life and how I should be or exist, I'd rather him not make me at all. I hate that this is my eternal reality that out of all I could be he choosed for me to be a filipina which is very unfortunate and he choosed for me to look as I do. However I see all around me and think how come he loves his children so much and had great plans for them how is it that he made those people very extremely beautiful and white or how is it this person is European or Mexican they are so lucky that God of the universe the maker choosed such a decision over how they should be which is their identity for all of eternity and with their said race. How can I ever be okay that in this one life to live and an eternity to come this is me a filipina, and an ugly one. I can never accept myself, can never love me, can never love God's decision over me. He could do a way better job and I dont apologize for saying that. I come from a lifelong pain that may never go away. Why in this one life and in this lifetime of eternity this is to be me I will never stop hurting on. I dont think being filipina is beautiful and of you guys think so that is fine with me I wish he mad eme well and thought of making me mexican, American, etc just like his other daughters why he choose that over them I can't understand but all I know is they are very fortunate and they really are beautiful. He made so many beautiful people in this world in great extent and I've encountered many who are likeable and very sweet I wish he had done the same for me and not make me this ugly average, Asian person and I get told I'm ugly all the time and get bypassed whereas he created other daughters of his with a different reality than that of mine. I'll always live in misery I guess I can never come to a place where I accept his final verdict over me before the world began I dont like me and never will. People are lucky to be born beautiful and Mexican, Caucasian, European, etc but me. Well it's a sad reality one where I feel like in a deep dark pitch black hole. Please don't think this is irrelevant its a very real thing to feel and be in.
Praise God for the missions he has entrusted us to do in the body of Christ
