Piper managed to destroy his lifetime ministry in one day.
I’d burn his books if they weren’t all on my kindle.
God chose Gideon. God chose Jehu. God chose Peter. God chose Charles Martel. God chose Bernard of Clairvaux. God chose Martin Luther, and God chose Martin Luther King. All of them were SOBs in some way, and all of them advanced God’s plans for His people and His church. That’s how God works with our flawed humanity, for which this flawed man thanks and praises Him continuously.
It’s not pride, sir... it’s reporting to the people what he did all day!..
If the left lazy biased dem media reported the news, there would be no need for Trump to.. but that has not happened in 4 years!
Promises kept... and you know it!
John Piper is a false “pied” piper.
He has the outer appearance of a Christian, many follow him.
He is a full Calvinist, so I suppose in his mind, the lost being aborted is not an offense to God.
Pride to him is a worse offense, because being the “elect” they tend to that.
The hypocrisy of specious moral superiority is likely to be the death knell of Protestant Christianity. People like Piper are setting themselves up to be used and exploited by the enemy.
Piper a flawed man thinks President Trump is flawed so he should not be supported again as President. With that reasoning no one can be supported as President or as a Pastor.
Piper gotta’ be afraid of sumtin’. How could he overlook Bidens 47 years of failures and prideful corruption and Harris’ prideful admission of adultery or fornication to zoom in on Trump? Talk about having a one sided view.
Then he goes out and supports someone who exhibits the same characteristics as he sees in such a bad light in Trump.
Piper may be showing signs of senility.
When confronted by the statement, “Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” does Piper always run away?
Mark
Of course it does. It's pride that causes people to think they are more important than the life of a baby.
Piper is a charlatan.
Who also believes, by the way, that you should not use deadly force to protect yourself. Because, well, John's not familiar with the Old Testament.
This is tantamount to a pastor condemning Barney the Purple Dinosaur. It’s just a way to get attention.
When you call someone judgmental, you are being judgmental.
I am reminded of a movie called “Backdraft” which I only saw once, on an airplane, many years ago. So my recollection may be fuzzy, but here is the story:
A series of horrible arson fires keeps a big-city fire station working round-the-clock. Some of the fires are devastating, and actually cause death and injury to the firefighters.
The end of the movie reveals that the fires were actually being set by a hero firefighter to protest budget cuts that would reduce the fire department.
It did not matter that the firefighter was a decorated hero, who had saved many lives. He was now doing evil.
The Old Testament Prophets addressed this phenomenon. A wicked man, who repents, is in better shape with God than a big hero who has done good all his life and then turns evil.
A fair warning to all of us. Just sayin’.
Remember the pictures on the White House Twitter feed commemorating different historical events? Nearly every time it involved inserting Barack Obama into the shot as part of the remembrance; a not-so-subtle way of elevating his status to the level of the people being celebrated.
For instance:
The Holy Spirit of God given because of faith in Jesus Christ IS discernment for the Christian.
This guy is not a Christian, he cannot discern what is evil.
It is a false premise that President Trump is boastful and prideful.
A President must stand on his record, and the fake news media monopoly absolutely refuses to acknowledge a single one of his many positive accomplishments. Instead they smear him and lie about him constantly.
So, since nobody else will toot his horn, he does what any sane, righteous person would do - he toots his own horn!
And for that they call him boastful?
This is just another of their many lies.
They are all bearing false witness, and they will burn in Hell for it.

I believe when a person does such a turn around it’s because the opposition has found the true dirt in his/her/their life and has threatened to use it.
If looked deep enough, it would be found.... no doubt.
Self-exalting boastfulness is something you can accuse anyone of since it’s completely relative to how you view it. For myself, I haven’t seen it in Trump.

I’m glad we have our perfumed princes, Vischer and Piper to show us how racist and stupid we are for voting for issues that matter to us.
