Life: Loving and Truthful Wartime Lifestyle

Hear the passion, wisdom, and focus from Pastor John Piper's video interview about Christians living a 'wartime lifestyle'. We understand this biblically, especially from how Paul trained Timothy in 1 Timothy 6 about training people to live for Christ in real life to love from truth transformed heart to see others come to trust in Christ. Paul even focused on Christians who were wealthy so that Timothy trained them not to put trust in wealth but in God. By this, God uses them to live generously among the world for people to learn of a generous God.

  8. Is 10% ('tithe') too high or maybe it is too low for some?
