My father was part of the class of 1965 at Wheaton as was Dr.Piper. instead of attending Fulller Theological Seminary he studied Harvard University and became a mathematics professor in Cape Ann Massachusetts. Our lineage goes back further than J.Edwards in New England and my parents attend an Evangelical Congregatiinalist church today. We are glad for faithful leaders like Piper. His collected works are in the Marion E.Wade Center at Wheaton and what an honor it us fir him to be in there with all the writings of : C.S. Lewis, amd Owen Barfield amd J.R.Tolkien and other famous English professors like Clyde Kilby whom he mentions in the first 5 min. of this sprawling amd unfocused interview.
John Piper? Here’s my problem. I’m getting up in age and feeling quite feeble. My wife, on the other hand, is going full-bore. I have always driven old cars. Cars that break down with unfortunate (but understandable) frequency. I always either fix them myself, or take them in. Question: if I were to buy my wife a new car on the assumption that she will outlive me just how much of a sin would that be? I don’t want her to have to worry about break-downs, you know? I know you have said that buying a new car is a sin, yet how am I to go to my grave in peace thinking about my wife being stranded somewhere? You also say that sin will keep us from heaven (that free grace only gets “God on our side” but from then on out it is a matter of works). So if I were to buy the cheapest new car I could find, would that exclude me from Heavenly glory? Or should I keep my old car (which is currently broken down) on the hope that in doing so God will allow me admittance to His Kingdom? In addition, I own a 900 sq ft house that I fear is a nod to the American dream (even though I’m next door to a bunch of Nicaraguan migrants). How will this figure into my prospects come judgement day? Also, will God hold it against me if I have a nice family if I do NOT collect seashells?
I think one of the biggest influences in this age for people to advocate for woman preachers is because men are not taking spiritual authority that God has given them. My husband has passed away 10 years ago after 25 years of marriage and I have never had the urge to preach or saying anything in church because he was a man serving God and would open his mouth long before I wanted to. The whole feminist movement that is taking away the manhood given by God to man was a very terrible day in the modern history. Let's stay with the WORD OF GOD AS SUPREME!
When I think of Tim Keller I think of the time when someone asked him a question about homosexuality, Keller didn't seem to know or care what God's Word teaches us about it, so he gave us a very non-offensive worldly philosophical tap dance around the subject. After that I could never understand why some people elevated him as some great teacher or hero of the faith.
I am sorry that was your first experience with Tim. That was not typical. My take on that was someone was trying to illicit a sound bite from him to use to alienate the woke community from hearing him. His heart was strongly to live the Gospel, preach the Gospel to everyone understanding them to communicate it in a life giving, God glorifying way.
I am from South Africa. I learnt a lot from John Piper.John Piper is humble and down to earth.Great Man of God.Thank you so much Pastor Piper.🙏

When keller is asked about moral values said no one can prove they are true, They are a matter of faith
to finish that is not what I read in bible. Guy is dangerous
