in David Platt Tags: Christ, Christ Jesus, Epistle to the Philippians, New Testament, Paul
Pastor David Platt preaching on Paul’s reevaluation in Philippians 3
- If we want our lives to count we must treasure Christ above everything else this world has to offer.
The many treasures of a wasted life (these are all good things, but, these good things were the ones keeping Paul from Jesus. Paul said it is possible to be and do all these things and yet come to the end of your life and to be written above it “wasted”)
- Family heritage
- Social status
- Biblical knowledge
- Religious activity (zeal)
- A moral lifestyle
but there is one thing i life that counts and that is the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus. The only treasure of the life that counts is Christ.
sermon starts at the 6:00 minute.
You have one life and you have one shot to make your life count for His glory on the landscape of human history.
- We trust in Christ to provide everything we need
What do we gain by gaining Christ?
- His righteousness covers our sin
- His power guarantees our resurrection
- His satisfaction transcends our suffering
- God delights in showing His greatness through those who radically trust in Him
The Life that Counts:
- They treasure Christ
- They trust Christ
- They pursue Christ with obsessive passion
The question we ask, “Is why follow hard after Christ?”
A holy dissatisfaction with comfortable christianity which is dangerous. Paul, the planter of most of the New Testament churches states that he has so much more to do in pursuit of God and that is where our own christianity should stand today.
We need a fresh understanding of the degree to which Christ has followed hard after us.

This video almost sounds like the “lone” voice in the wilderness of our generation:
FEW WILL BE SAVED. Really? Says who? A (prone to sin) preacher? An obscure prophet in the Bible ( does the Old Testament really apply to us today)? I am being ironic, here.
It was actually Jesus who said:
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. Matthew 7:21
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:14
So, if you don’t believe it, you don’t believe Jesus, and why do you think you are still a Christian then, if you don’t even believe what Jesus (the founder of Christianity) has to say?
See the transcript from this sermon compilation below the video. It is worth reading it, as reading makes an indelible impression on the memory. See especially the words of John Piper and Leonard Ravenhill.
Lots of people in that day say “Lord,Lord”.
He says “I never knew you!”
Leonard Ravenhill-
What I wanna tell you tonight…I believe the same thing is happening in our churches every Sunday night.People are choking and we are trying to pour the words of life into them, it pours over them- so damned and lost- they can’t take it! They listen to the same preacher year after year, who says the same thing in the same way. He hasn’t shed a tear since he left his mother’s womb. He went to the seminary and he got a big fat head and a shrunken soul. So there’s no hope. This generation will fill hell quicker than any other generation, we are so corrupt, UNLESS in His mercy, God FILLS us.
CLICK below (the word “More” to read the rest of the transcript and to watch 2 more short videos by Paul Washer titled – What is Salvation (in 2 minutes) and Come to Christ. He is mighty to save.

Poezie Traian Dorz – Anii trec ca norii
31 Dec 2011 4 Comments
Anii trec ca norii
Traian Dorz
Anii trec ca norii, perii-ncărunţesc,
vremurile-s altfel, totul e-n schimbare,
zilnic se preface tot ce-i pământesc
— numai Adevărul este-acelaşi soare.
Iarba se usucă, frunza cade iar
apa-şi face vaduri, altele într-una,
peste toate-n lume plânge-un “în zadar”
— numai în iubire cânt-un “totdeauna”.
Vara arzi în soare, iarna arzi în ger
ce te-ncântă astăzi, mâine ţi-e povară,
toate-apasă duhul, toate-l strâng ca-n fier
— numai conştiinţa sfântă e uşoară.
Toţi sunt ca şi tine: slabi şi schimbători
cei aproape astăzi, ţi-s departe mâne
oamenii, ca anii-s aburi trecători
— numai Domnul singur neschimbat rămâne.
…Nu-ţi lega de nimeni inima acum
ca să nu ţi-o smulgă ruperea ce vine,
leagă-ţi-o de Domnul — lumea-i vis şi fum
singur El rămâne veşnic lângă tine.
