There are over 305 of you subscribers out there. That's a fair
number of folks from all over God's creation. In past years this list
has served as a forum for questions looking for answers and as a place
for general discussion. We have shared at the very least two common
interests. The lesser being John Piper's ministry and the greater
being our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
During the last two+ years our pipertalk list, though still populated
by Jesus and Piper loving subscribers, has become less and less
active. Everything in life, including this list, has a time and a
season. With that said perhaps it is the time for us to close the
doors and free up a little space at Yahoogroups?
The only way to change my mind is for you to open up and make it your
purpose to edify the other 304 subscribers. The key word is edify.

Moe, I agree with Ed and Aaron. A WordPress blog sounds like a good idea as well. Thanks for wisely moderating PiperTalk over the years. It is kind of sad to ...
Brian, I believe we all agree but I might add that there must be a Blog or two already out there that is serving that purpose. Perhaps our final act could be...
Like some the rest of you have said, I see the passing of things as bittersweet. I look forward to The Day when the only things that will exist are things...
Dear Joe, I couldn't agree more on all points. Email distribution lists certainly have their place and will continue to do so for some time to come. Thankfully...
Dear moe, I think that John Piper's ministry is the best on the web._It is full of sound doctrine that one can trust, but you know what was said of the end...

Okay, here is a poll question for those of you who have not written in before. All you have to do is respond to the following statement as to whether or not...
I have some serious concerns about the idea that "marriage has nothing to do with the emotions" and that "love is a decision". Do people really believe that...
Yes emotions play a role in our lives on a daily basis and even in an attraction for the opposite sex who would one day becomes your spouse. Of all the...
