Planning for Retirement? (Advice From John Piper)
By Tom Dunn | January 15, 2009
LaneCh asked:
John Piper’s view of planning for retirement. In short, don’t waste your life.
It’s so refreshing to hear this advice coming from the same generation that feeds us this garbage about being anxious for tomorrow. (Matt. 6:34)

“and get a tan on your old leathery 70 year old skin so you look like a shammy… those old knarled legs…” LOL
I have to admit, I really ***** up when no one is around when Pastor John Piper gets really descriptive, I love it. I’m an artist and I can tell if God didn’t call him to pastorialship, he would definitely be a journalist or somewhere in the journalism field (well he has written many books, but my point is)…

Everything out of this man’s mouth is like gold…. he’s got such a handle on all of this.

I’m grateful brother Piper is my pastor. He lives what He preaches. My favorite line is: We are on this planet to make much of Jesus Christ! Amen!

I certainly save and have retirement funds. however I realize that my security and provision does not come from it. Ultimately it belongs to GOD and I am only a steward over it. You take care too Lane, stay strong in the LORD, love with the love of GOD my christian friend.

I really enjoy John piper. I think many of us plan for financial security because of our lack of trusting in GOD to supply our needs. Therefore we attempt to supply them ourselves which leads to greed, narcisissm, selfishness, and false security.

good preaching against the idol of comfort and entertainment…we as a society here in the west are being entertained to death as it were, this is not the average american message being proclaimed here…which is why these messages deserve our attention, thought, consideration, time and effort. you won’t hear joel osteen or other word of faith or “positive, don’t want to offend or scare anyone away” “preachers” say. these are not preachers in the sense of what it means to be a preacher

eh, Matthew 6:6: “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
We should take that very seriously.
