 | | My prayer is that through that ministry and everything else I do the great glory of our God and Savior Jesus Christ would be magnified as more and more people come to live out the obedience of faith more and more deeply. | | | John Piper: God's Glory His Passion, by Tim Ellsworth (Southern Seminary Magazine) | | | His father was an itinerant evangelist who is still actively ministering through international radio and Bible courses. |

| | Jesus Creed » The Gospel acc. to John (Piper) |
| | Piper’s take or angle on presenting the gospel is to look at its doxological focus or its aim for a human to become enthralled with the glory of God as what gives humans their greatest joy. | | | Piper’s focus is on “union with God” and there is nothing that animates my own view of the gospel more than the perichoretic life of God that pulses within the godhead and, to recall Jonathan Edwards myself, which gave God the impetus to spread that love into Creation. | | | John, I don’t anyone who knows the history would think that Calvin personally lit the fires that burned Servetus, but you make it sound as if he was more of an innocent bystander than he was. |

| | Piper pointed out that when the Bible says in Psalm 96:3, "Declare his glory among the nations," it is God who inspired the words of the writer and thus God who is speaking. | | | Piper asserted that within John 11:1-6, love prompted Jesus to let Lazarus die because it is more loving to display the glory of God than it is to rescue people from death on earth. | | | Piper said he has spent 25 to 30 years trying to understand more fully how "God's God-centeredness is to be experienced as [His being] loving toward us." Many people misunderstand the concept, he said. |

| | Piper told the gathered Southern Baptists that the BGC debate was not a quarrel between Calvinists and Arminians since both groups have historically affirmed precisely the same understanding of God's exhaustive foreknowledge. | | | Piper explained the vote defeating the amendment does not mean his denomination has embraced an openness understanding of the doctrine of God. | | | Piper said he believes the doctrine of God's omniscience is more important than many other issues over which the denomination is willing to divide. |

| | One of the proof texts given by the Westminster Divines for their answer is "Genesis 1 throughout." Piper gives Genesis 1 verses 1 and 31, the first and last verses. | | | For Piper this change is necessary since in his scheme of theology there is no place for a Covenant of Works, or Law/Gospel antithesis. | | | Piper’s alterations and additional comments reveal that, rather than following in the orthodox Reformed tradition, he is a revisionist. |

| | Passion for Piper? Desiring God and 'Christian Hedonism' |
| | Piper's life mission statement, adopted by BBC, is "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him". | | | concludes 'John Piper is little more than yet another speculating, neo-evangelical theologian - a modern day "wolf" dressed up as a sheep, from whom pastors should protect those committed by Christ into their spiritual care'. | | | Karlberg should also be taken seriously because he asserts that Piper has not only departed from the Reformed faith and evangelical theology, but has also moved away from orthodoxy. |

| | In response, Piper shows, in careful treatment of passage after passage, that the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers is clearly the teaching of the Bible, and if we abandon this doctrine we will also lose justification by faith alone. | | | Ultimately, Piper asserts, fasting is a way of expressing to God that he is the supreme hunger of our hearts—that we are starving for him. | | | In his essay, "The End for Which God Created the World," the great theologian Jonathan Edwards proclaimed that God's ultimate end is the manifestation of his glory in the highest happiness of his creatures. |

John Piper |
| | So to say back to Piper that open theists do believe God is sovereign just seems false to me. It's true that open theists believe they believe God to be sovereign, but Piper is not going to consider that a true belief about their belief, and I have to agree. | | | Assessment: Piper's life goal and ministry have been focused on spreading “a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples." His writing and preaching have had a significant impact on many young Christian leaders, including pastors, seminarians, and members of the bands Third Day and Switchfoot. | | | God used Piper to show me that His glory is why I exist, and this truth has been the most liberating and purpose-inspiring and joyful truth I have ever known. |

| | God's Passion for His Glory by John Piper :: Book Reviews |
| | I am not altogether sure that Piper is correct in some of his interpretations, but as I considered this, it dawned on me that the big issue in the Christian life is not whether we understand Edwards but whether we understand the Bible. | | | Not only is the full text of The End reprinted, but Piper’s notes of explanation, which, I might add, are sorely needed, accompany it. | | | I believe we must be readers, and readers of the best stuff we can find, but I do not believe we should be disciples of any man, living or dead. |

| | John’s gospel makes this explicit by connecting Jesus’ foreknowledge with his deity, similar to the way Isaiah made God’s foreknowledge evidence of his deity. | | | And the warrant for believing that he is divine, he says, is that he is telling the disciples what is going to befall him before it comes to pass. | | | Then two verses later, in John 13:21, Jesus specifically predicts the betrayal of Judas. |

| | The aim of this book has been to root ever more deeply in Scripture the vision of God and life called "living by faith in future grace." I take subordinate pleasure in rooting it in the thought of one of the greatest theologians in the history of the church. | | | It is no secret, from what I have written elsewhere, that I am deeply indebted to Jonathan Edwards in the development of my understanding of God and life. | | | Packer said of my book, Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist, "Jonathan Edwards, whose ghost walks through most of Piper's pages, would be delighted with his disciple." That was a very generous tribute. |

| | At the same time that the church has abdicated its responsibility as steward of the truth, the academy has jockeyed to usurp the theological task from the church. | | | In both the academy and the church the opinion largely prevails that one can either be a theologian or a pastor, but surely, one cannot be both. | | | Such a man must hold "fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict" (1:9). |
