John Piper offers an answer to a question I’m sure we have all asked at some time. Download it or read the transcript here.
I just started reading Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood and this poem by Ann Kiemel Anderson is included in the foreword. Timely, and more than a little hard to dwell on right now. Jesus, if this is your will, then YES to being single. In my deepest heart I want to marry, to belong to [...]

Right now I am sitting in the lounge room of my folks house, with my 2 nephews (10 & 6) watching Sponge-Bob Square Pants. Well really they are watching and I am typing this. After being locked up in a room for 3 weeks studying up to 11 hours a day, I am starting to [...]
Nik put this on her blog today. Great stuff from Piper. And let me preface what I have to say with a warning so as to awaken you to the seriousness of listening to the Word of God. When Jesus spoke and no one believed, John explains their unbelief like this (John 12:38-40): It was [...]

Loving this quote from Iain Murray (found on John Piper’s blog) All evangelicals should read the 1994 Catholic Catechism. Pope John Paul when in Australia, and speaking to priests, said, “Jesus did not want a church without priests. If priests are lacking, then Jesus is lacking in the world, as is his Eucharist and his [...]
John Piper has interesting thoughts on why abortion should be associated with racism. “So here’s one connection for starters: Racism might—and often did—result in the killing of innocent humans. In our history, it often did. But there is no “might” about abortion. It always results in the killing of innocent humans. Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Black people [...]

My first assessment for second year is due in one week. It is a 2000 word book review. The book I choose to review is ‘The Future of Justification’ by John Piper. If you haven’t heard of the book, it is a response to another well known and popular theologian, N.T. Wright. One of the [...]
