Moo contends that the doctrine of our union with Christ would help resolve a lot of the tension in the justification debate about its forensic and moral implications. Moo clearly advocates [...]
John Piper on the Particular Benefits Extended to Children of Believers…My Thoughts on Baptist and Reformed Perspectives on Children and Relation to Covenant
By Rick Hogaboam On July 28, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Baptism, Calvinism, Children, Communion/Lord's Supper, Covenant Theology, Family, Fatherhood, Homeschool, Motherhood, Theology
Here is an extended quote from John Piper from the following article, “What Did Christ Purchase for Your Children with His Blood?”:
But did the blood of Christ purchase no privileges for the children of believers? Did the blood of Christ not unite families across generations? What about
It is a magnificent thing when an old man can stand and say, “God has been my hope from my youth on. I have seen sore troubles, but have never been forsaken, and by God’s grace have never forsaken Him.” That is what I want my sons to say in 70 years. [...]

I wish to thank Crossway for sending me this review copy. I also want to thank the editors Owen Strachan and David Mathis for bringing these wonderful lectures to print for [...]
The following article is penned by John Piper and can be accessed here. I am reproducing the whole article because it is concise enough and that good. I’m also posting because some are not motivated to follow links.
We are Christians. Radical, full-blooded, Bible-saturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered, mission-advancing, soul-winning, church-loving, holiness-pursing, sovereignty-savoring, [...]

Mark Horne Needs to Chill Out about John Piper's Veteran's Day Post
By Rick Hogaboam On November 12, 2010 · 5 Comments · In American History, Christ & Culture, From the Heart, History
I think Horne should have heeded his suspicions in his first words, “Perhaps I’m over-reacting”. Read Piper’s brief post: http://desiringgod.org/blog/posts/thankful-they-embraced-the-risk
And then compare with Horne’s reaction. You woulda thunk Piper gave an apologetic for WWI from Horne’s response. He honestly sounds like he is ranting and raving and it [...]
For so long it felt like there were two camps at war. The MindPeople and the HeartPeople both considered their way superior, and would critique each other at any given opportunity. I always had the inkling that something was not quite right with this division, and over the last few years have [...]
Honoring John Piper
By Rick Hogaboam On October 6, 2010 · 3 Comments · In Biography, Calvinism, From the Heart, Theology
Justin Taylor and Sam Storms served as editors of a book that was released at the 2010 Desiring God “Think” Conference. The book is titled, “For the Fame of God’s Name: Essays in Honor of John Piper”. Check out the lineup of contributors and the video of John Piper being presented with the book
2. Q. What do you need to know in order to live and die in the joy of this comfort?
A. First, how great my sins and misery are;[1] second, how I am delivered from all my sins and misery;[2] third, how I am to be thankful to God for such deliverance.[3]

This film features John Piper at “Angola”, one of the most notorious maximum security prisons in the country, discussing the wasted life and the hope of glory. Working on details for a showing at Sovereign Grace Fellowship in Nampa, Idaho. Stay tuned!!! Here is a trailer:
In short, John Piper says the following in his exposition of 1 Peter3:21:
In verse 21 he does say, “Baptism now saves you” – that sounds like the water has a saving effect in and of itself apart from faith. He knows that is what it sounds like and so he adds [...]

How Should Christians Respond to Health Care Reform?
By Rick Hogaboam On March 23, 2010 · 12 Comments · In Christ & Culture, Discipleship/Sanctification, Politics
Well, the lawsuits against the new Health Care bill are already being filed by some states, with more to follow. As many as 30 states are opposing the Health Care Bill in some form of state legislation. I am interested in what will become of this debate and what authority states may [...]

With the development of prenatal genetic diagnosis, the drive toward eugenics has returned with a vengeance. Americans may heartily cheer participants in the Special Olympics, [...]
Gotta Love John Piper
By Rick Hogaboam On February 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Ecclesiology (Church Stuff), From the Heart
John Piper shares a journal entry from years ago about contemplating whether he should step aside from ministry. What is shocking is that the reason wasn’t because the Church was dying, but was rather growing. Only a John Piper would look at a growing ambitious Church and pray whether he should remain a part of [...]

Pray for Persecution???

Here is an excerpt from John Piper’s book, “Finally Alive” -
What Will It Take Today?
What will it take so that thousands of Christians in our churches become passionate about telling the gospel to unbelievers? One of the reasons we don’t do it as much as we should is that life [...]
Piper contends along the same lines as Wayne Grudem that NT prophecy was of a different character than OT prophecy. I appreciate how Piper acknowledges and concedes why people would have a hang-up over such a declaration. He also argues that the NT gift of teaching is fallible and a good analogy of how NT [...]
From his recent sermon, The Legacy of Antioch:
Meet the Global South
Let’s review the situation of the world today in regard to the spread of Christianity, and what this new term Global South means. The Global South refers to the astonishing growth of the Christian church in Africa, Latin America, [...]
I think that I first encountered the saying “All truth is God’s truth” when reading Mark D. Roberts’ Can We Trust the Gospels?. He explained that he felt nervous about studying the Bible from a secular perspective in a Harvard course, but that John Stott gave him this phrase to ease [...]

What's a Pulpit Worth???
By Rick Hogaboam On June 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment · In Discipleship/Sanctification, Ecclesiology (Church Stuff), Worship
John Piper encourages pastors and hearers to protect the pulpit from trivialities and instead delight in God through the ministry of preaching in the Church.
Here is a picture of Pastor John Piper browsing through a new thrift store. The store “Hidden Treasures” will designate 75% of the profits in the support of missionaries (http://www.desiringgod.org/Blog/1191_hidden_treasures_thrift_store/). I love it!!!
I have long shopped at thrift stores for various products and find it a win/win proposition. [...]
A lot of people will notice that the calendar notes that today is both Maundy Thursday and the first day of Spring. First of all, some of you may be wondering what “Maundy” means and think it insignifiant since everyone is working, the kids are in school, and the mailman will pay a [...]
My initial post (http://endued.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/music-review-of-lecraecalvinist-rapper-getting-crunk-referencing-john-owen-john-piper-and-morewow/) of a music review of rapper LeCrae has generated an interesting conversation centering around…Mark Driscoll. Anyhow, here is [...]
Just listened to LeCrae’s most recent album, “When the Music Stops”. Besides getting “crunk” myself while listening, I was periodically doing double-takes with my ears as I heard some of the following words proceed from his lyrics:
“John Owen”, “Predestination”, “God’s Sovereignty”, “Missions exists [...]
The verdict is out on the ministry of Willow Creek, pastored by Bill Hybels. In the book, “Reveal: Where Are You”, it was concluded that Willow Creek is filling up the building, but failing at growing disciples. Success isn’t determined by the size of the crowd, but rather by the transformation [...]
Book Review of Cornelis Venema's "Getting the Gospel Right: Assessing the Reformation and New Perspectives on Paul" + My thoughts on "Covenantal Nomism","works of the law", and "justification" as understood by E.P. Sanders, J.D.G. Dunn, and N.T. Wright
By Rick Hogaboam On December 21, 2007 · Leave a Comment · In Biblical Studies, Book Reviews, Covenant Theology, Theology
This is a tidy primer, assessing the works of E.P. Sanders’ ”Paul and Palestinian Judaism”, J.D.G. Dunn’s “New Perspective on Paul”, and N.T. Wright’s views of Justification.
To be fair to the scholars assessed here, I have familiarized myself with Covenantal Nomism as presented by Sanders, have done some research into “works [...]
