John Piper has issued a blistering condemnation of President Donald Trump, warning Christian voters that the president's “deadly behavior” will lead the U.S. to “destruction of more kinds than we can imagine.”
On Thursday, the influential pastor and writer published what he referred to as a “long-overdue” blog post in which he pondered the implications of the 2020 election.
Piper, who pastored Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis for almost 33 years, reminded Christians that "it is not a small thing to treat lightly a pattern of public behaviors that lead to death."
He pointed out that all of these sins are mentioned in the Bible and are “deadly” enough to destroy people and entire nations.
“I think it is a drastic mistake to think that the deadly influences of a leader come only through his policies and not also through his person,” he wrote. “This is true not only because flagrant boastfulness, vulgarity, immorality, and factiousness are self-incriminating, but also because they are nation-corrupting. They move out from centers of influence to infect whole cultures.”
“The last five years bear vivid witness to this infection at almost every level of society.”
Piper questioned why some Christians seem to be sure they are “saving human lives and freedoms” by ignoring the destructive effects of a “self-absorbed, self-exalting” leader.

"A Federal judge today ruled..."
I'm beginning to see acolytes of Moloch in these scumbags.
Oh, for Pete’s sake.
Good point!
It happens!
Look at Frankie Schaeffer or Andy Stanley
But I’m still surprised when it happens to someone like John Piper
I have watched sadly as John Piper has descended into the social justice deception. I was concerned a long time ago when he took the stage beside Rick Warren and expressed admiration for him, but this latest craziness is not a big surprise.
The social justice gospel (a false gospel) has seduced many, formerly conservative, gospel centered evangelical pastors including David Platt, Matt Chandler and now even Al Mohler.
John Piper would do well to consider Sampson, an uncouth, passion driven, self-centered man who was chosen by God to lead God’s people. He did a good job with it and, especially at the end - he trusted in God.
Amen.
I am completely mystified by otherwise intelligent Christians who would not vote for PDJT, unless it is in fulfillment of this scripture:
Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to be easily shaken from your composure or disturbed by any kind of spirit or message or letter allegedly from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
His moral equivalence of infanticide and rudeness reminds me of Islamic and Palestinian Apologists. Same spirit
Well he is part of Gospel coalition with Moore. It is getting very clear that this org has change agents with Piper increasingly showing his colors.
So we’re now expected to heed the warnings of atheist “pastors”?
It’s possible that could say that, but to blame him for the riots and violence?
For that he’s got some cuckoo premises.
Someone who doesn't seem to understand that a Hillary or a Biden would pack the Federal courts with even more fanatical Godless communists, eager to rule against adherents of the faith at every turn, is either naive, or secretly owes allegiance to Moloch and his demonic hordes.
Rotting lying dog squeezins.
Al Molnar was liberal before. He has been exposed by J. D Hall and others.
You can see the demons dancing behind his eyes...
THE COMING CHASTISEMENT IS FOR SINNERS.
The Illumination might help all see their sins.
So.....
Piper prefers the pedophile???
And that’s preferable??
No sale.
I think he understands
Yes, as if words were more deadly than actions.
Jesus said, "Watch out that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name..." (Matthew 24).
Charles Spurgeon, please pick up the white courtesy phone...
This is a strange blindness. (Is it pacifism?)
