October 18, 2008

A week ago we shared an unsettling quote from Dr. Piper about the vital need for us to fight lust or face an eternity without God. Since that fight is so critical to our well-being, I thought I would share another quote in which he goes on to explain how this fight can be won. [...]

John Piper rarely gets starker than he does in the following quote. His biblical remedy for lust? Well, it’s simple really.

John Piper’s Biblical Antidote to Anger

October 3, 2008

Anger is very much associated with our sense of rights. We feel that we have been violated and “deserve” better treatment. The truth is, none of us deserve anything but hell. We build up for ourselves a mental picture of our ideal life, of what we want, so that it becomes an idol. When we [...]

In an interview in London: “I have met so many gay partnered clergy here and it is so troubling to hear them tell me that their bishop comes to their house for dinner, knows fully about their relationship, is wonderfully supportive, but has also said if this ever becomes public, then I’m your worst enemy [...]

Review of the Blog – July to August: TULIP and Together On a Mission

A Time for War and a Time for Peace

November 11, 2007

Today is remembrance day. It is the day which we hope ended war forever in the main countries of Europe. It is a day for silence, contemplation, and gratitude. The thought that strikes me is that what is true of nations is also true of individuals. We war and fight with one another, and just [...]

How Total Depravity Helps Your Marriage

August 24, 2007

Last week, as you may know, I preached on Jacob. During my preparation, not surprisingly, I was taken once more to the glorious doctrines of grace—the so-called “TULIP.” Jacob is used in Romans as a supreme example of God’s free grace. This post is part of a mini-series highlighting quotes from others on each of [...]
