Having stumbled upon the ‘Desiring God’ podcast by John Piper, I was struck by the very first message I listened to from it. The message is titled My Anguish: My Kinsmen Are Accursed Part 1 (which suggests that part two is coming). It is worth checking out. He gets into issues that many denominations and Christian organisations are dealing with. If you are not familiar with John Piper, he is a highly respected theologian, preacher, and Bible teacher. Worth checking out! Here are two quotes from the message…
The more you adjust or obscure Biblical doctrine in order to make Christian reality acceptable to unbelievers, the less Christian reality there is when they arrive.
If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you do not get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. That is not evangelism, that is deception!
