Dear Praying Saints, This prayer request is concerning the area in Mexico where Hurricane Emily is headed. To Every Tribe Mission operates short term mission...
Dear PiperTalkers, Thanks to some of our gracious and "up to date" brethren we are able to fill you in with the following reports. Much Grace! Moe Bergeron ......
Dear PiperTalkers, Seeing how of late all of you 200+ subscribers are awfully silent I figured I would break my own rules so I can give you a treat. The ...
My Brothers and Sisters, One of these days I'm going to learn to take things a little slower and maybe then I'll take the time to double check my posts before...
Hello Pipertalkers ... Since Moe's worthwhile attempt to get us talking didn't work (but Moe, thanks for the AWESOME encouraging story) -- I have a question. ...
Leanne, Do you see this "joy set before Him" as the same joy that He refers to when He says "that My joy may be in you"?? There seems to be a lot of commentary...
Rosa, I have never really thought about this question you ask. It would seem to me that the "joy set before Him" would be the same as His joy that he wants to...
Doug, Thanks. That's the kind of reference I was needing - I have the book and will go read that chapter. I definitely think LeAnne's thoughts are related and...
What about the joy of having "true" Israel, God's precious people, Christ's beloved bride, restored to righteous union with the bridegroom? Is that not the joy...

Hi Moe, Thanks for the update. Much prayer is needed! Blessings, Leo...
Rosa, Good question. I have enjoyed the thoughts that others have shared. Bill McDonald in commenting on this section said, "Jesus found His own deep joy in...
Here's my two cents worth on "what was Jesus' Joy" (Heb 12:2) It seems to me that the "joy set before him" is (and is yet to be - since salvation has not...
... us..." Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day! Just kidding. This is my favorite quote from Warren (out of his PDL book). It's not about us....
Wow, everyone's thoughts have been so awesome. I suspected "the glory of the Father" was the bottom line of Jesus' joy, but was having trouble demonstrating...
Regeneration must precede faith according to Reformed doctrine which I hold to (for what its worth I'm a paedobaptist, but do not think that significantly...
Dear friends, I have been pondering these two simplistic questions over the last week: 1. What keeps the true-believer coming back to God after they have...
My quick stab: First question answer is obviously 'God' himself at deeper levels (God is the cause of everything of course at the ultimate level, God's Spirit...
In response to question 1 all I can say is grace, grace and more grace. Rom 9:16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy....

Rod, I agree that your views on God's grace in respect to salvation are Biblical but I don't think you can support your position on God and evil biblically....
Aaron, Thanks for the encouragement to read Piper. I have the book and have read and re-read the chapter you mention. I do not find Piper, nor the Bible saying...
I'm sorry Rod. I wasn't paying enough attention to what you said. Yes, I fully agree with you. Aaron ... have read and re-read the chapter you mention. I do...
Hi Rod, How is Rick Warren's programs doing for your church? I have kind of given up explaining my issues about Rick Warren to people, even when they initiate...
Come on. He didn't ignore it. Warren spends an entire paragraph boiling down Romans 1-11 into a nifty little prayer ;-) Doug On Tue, 09 Aug 2005 08:45:02...
Hi Doug! I have given away the PDL book and thrown away the smallgroup workgroup. :P Care to referesh my memory? As far as Romans 12:1,2 is concerned, I only...
On page 58 (Chapter 7 - The Reason for Everything), he actually spends two paragraphs on his version of the gospel. We are to first believe that God loves us...
Hi Doug, "his version of the gospel" - how can you say that about the America's Pastor, the one on whom God has given the keys of the Kingdom so that your...
