Unity or purity? What is important to you? Many Churches of today focus deeply on unity. The real question is can a person have authentic Godly unity if they do not have any purity with God?
The answer is absolute truth.
If truth does not define what is right it is replaced with Might makes right. With a focus on truth or purity in Gods true character we will seek a God glorifying unity. Without this purity of heart defining our every relationship how can we have true unity? It makes us more aligned with worldly forces that are always in a state of change. Whoever has the might makes the right and that can change from day to day. Take 40 minutes with John Piper
to observe where you stand in this important issue.

We Behold HIS Glory ful of Grace and Truth
In this sermon John Piper digs deeply in to the personage of Yeshua that Mesiah. Why did The word who was with God and was God become flesh? John 1:1,14 One of the major accomplishments of the birth of Yeshua was to grant abiding grace without compromising the truth of Gods character, and the trouble of the sin nature we live in. This study is a very deep study that is well worth the time and effort. We all need to know with a deeper understand why God did what He did.

What Man Does in the New Birth
What is my role in the new birth? In listening to this sermon by John Piper you come to some very foundational truths including the place we have in our own salvation. And also the place that the bible has. In knowing the relationships between God man and the Word of God we can determine steps that are not as obvious as people think. This sermon was allot for me to grapple with. Our Faith in Christ leads to the love of our neighbor (1st and 2nd commandment) The renewing of our mind in the Word of God is the instrument of our new birth making our faith begin the living process.

Faith Unique and Fruitful Effect of the New Birth
So many people believe different things. Christianity is just another "belief" to them. And if you ask them are there such thing as absolutes they say no.
In studding people I have found one very important thing. Honest people don't really care what you or I believe. They want the truth. You don't care what I believe. You want the truth! Is Christianity just another empty yelling among the winds of every one else belief systems. Or is faith in Yeshua the Mesiah alot deeper.
Here's John Piper

In The Begining was the Word The Was with God and Was God
This is a Bible topic that confuses many people. The implication in the verses that come next is, Jesus was the one who created the earth. Fallow with John Piper as he unpacks this powerful Biblical concept.

Gods Will for Slaves (Life Changing)
As a Christian trying to seek the truth this video change my perspective on who I am to God considerably. Though some of it is hard to put into practice on a daily basis, it does ease the struggle to attempt it. The one question that puzzles many people is: Who am I? or Who am I to you Lord? In this sermon from Paul Washer you may find some answers you did not expect.
