Over at Parchment & Pen , C. Michael Patton calls on fellow believers to give Rick Warren a break . Mr. Patton informs his readers as to the why of his post on Warren: “Because I read a blog post that was warning people about Warren and, simply put, it hurt to read.” After opening with a admission of reading Warren’s writings but haven’t been keeping up with him lately, Patton continues, I have always scratched my head in confusion as so many Christians want to burn him at the stake...Read Full Story

Famed theo-blogger Justin Taylor has crafted a fine piece on the legacy of RC Sproul and John Piper over at the Ligionier Ministries Blog .  Here’s an excerpt: “The differences between R. C. Sproul and John Piper are easily discerned, even for the casual observer. I’m tempted to enumerate some of them, but it will be more fruitful to focus on the common threads that tie together their remarkable ministries. Both men became Calvinists during seminary, as their resistance was overcome by...Read Full Story

Perhaps a Rick Warren speaking at John Piper’s Desiring God Conference comes as a surprise to many.  But when John MacArthur threw Mark Driscoll under the bus, John Piper still embraced the latter. So what is so surprising for John Piper, a hard-nosed Calvinist, to invite Rick Warren, a religious pragmatist, to speak at his Conference?

This Piper Friday I would like to share some reasons Piper gives us why we need not be afraid. The original article has biblical verses to support each of these glorious truths from God's Word. Here are his statements: We will not die apart from God's gracious decree for his children. Curses and divination do not hold sway against God's people. The plans of terrorists and hostile nations do not succeed apart from our gracious God. Man cannot harm us beyond God's gracious will for us. God...Read Full Story

When you become so blind that the maker of galaxies and ruler of nations and knower of all mysteries and lover of our souls becomes boring, then only one thing is left — the love of the world....

At the outset, for the record, I’m aware of how challenging the Parables of Jesus really are to interpret.  But I’m also equally convinced that we may no what a parable doesn’t teach. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.  (Matthew 13:44, NASB ) For example, recently, in a sermon, I heard famed pastor and theologian John Piper refer to Jesus’ Parable of the...Read Full Story
