Following on just a couple of weeks from his sermon on sex, Tope preached on another controversial matter. This is a subject where many Christians take very different views from each other. I think that whether you agree with Tope or not you will, find the sermon of great interest. If nothing else it is very funny as he describes the difference between African and English Christians on this issue. He also talks about other issues of conscience basing... Read more
May God grant us a revival of the kind of Christianity the Doctor is talking about here: “It is one thing to believe the truth, it is a very different thing to apply it. We did listen, and apply the truth, initially, otherwise we would not be Christians at all. But it is possible for us … to go on, content with just listening to, or reading the truth, and never applying it to ourselves, or examining ourselves in the... Read more
This is from John Piper. We should never have any shortage of things to pray for if we read the New Testament and pray what they prayed for: —————— They called on God to exalt his name in the world: Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name (Matthew 6:9). They called on God to extend his kingdom in the world: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven (Matthew... Read more

UPDATE- I have found the original source and as it is only now availble on the wayback machine include a copy here.——— The Doctor thinks we are crazy if we reject the notion of God intervenng directly in human history today. This quote makes me want to pray more for him to stretch out his hand and act: ‘What is being taught in Christendom today is this, that since we have got the New Testament canon, since we have got...

I have now been able to add full length videos to my notes from the Tim Keller talks thanks to the Newfrontiers tech guys. These were three great messages from him on issues that are close to his heart. Go watch ’em: Relate to the Culture – Tim Keller Why Cities Matter – Tim Keller Preach to Change Them In Their Seats – Tim Keller Read more
A few months back, Piper posted this excelent couple of paragraphs about the need to make GOD the central thing as we try to lead people to a shared understanding of theology. . . .a Reformed position mainly means, God is really big, really strong, really powerful, really knowledgeable, really wise, really great, really weighty, and he is going to be big in this service, and we’re going to make a big deal out of God here. There are a... Read more
I will simply let “The Doctor” speak for himself today. This has to be one of the most challenging quotes from him I have ever read: “. . . The secret of the early Christians, the early Protestants, Puritans and Methodists was that they were taught about the love of Christ, and they became filled with a knowledge of it. Once a man has the love of Christ in his heart you need not train him to witness; he will... Read more
You will have to pop over to my new facebook group for my forthcoming resurrection book if you want to find out! The book is due to be published in early 2010 by Crossway. Read more
Its time I reinstated Piper Friday here, It had never been canceled, merely put on hold! Writing a book has taught me that many tasks take a lot longer than our instant coffee generation wants us to believe. My deadline rapidly approaches now, but I hope that in many ways my book is the product not just of the 2 years or so that I have been studying specifically the resurrection, but also my entire Christian life to this point....
