After about 5 years, I feel the need to quit Pipertalk. I remember the many formats we've had (well, 3 at least). With much fondness, I remember debating...
Dear Graham & PiperTalkers, It's always a joy to be blessed by the fellowship of the saints and Graham's fellowship over the years has almost always sparked...
David, I haven't seen anyone pick up this thread, so I'll give it a quick shot. Whether Jack was wrongly accused or not, he will have served his time. Whether...
The problem, as I see it, is that apart from close family members, other people would feel that he is "guilty as charged." But he will not admit this....
hi dave and dlouise, is the verse in genesis 2:28 a command to have children? "And God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill...
In Sydney, some Christians who work at our public broadcaster, the ABC, put up some posters which read What is the meaning of Easter? and a witty person,...
Graham, "Jesus, lover of my Soul" is one of my all time favorites. Hide me.. Oh my Saviour, 'till the storms of life have passed. It was then, when I was...
Brothers, What's good about Friday? Sundays on the way!! These are the songs we will sing Easter morning. Before the throne of God above Lord I lift your name...
I am new to this, so bear with me... We have a woman in our church (a new believer); living with a non- believer with whom she has had a child. They've been...

He is risen! ... Or as Tony Campolo's talk goes, "but Sunday's a commin'". ... I'm chiming in a little late, but here's what we sang: Praise to the Lord the...
Thanks to all who contributed on this topic. Some people seemed to infer from what I wrote that I was confused about the issue. I wasn't confused at all, I...

Excuse me while I step out from the shadows...I am curious as to whether or not John Piper has been quoted one way or the other on PDL. Thanks, Leo On Fri, 01...
I have never heard him say anything about it, nor is it on his website, that I know of.. Pastor Douglas Mixer Grace Baptist Church 1350-H Blair Drive Odenton,...
Perhaps John Piper has not said anything concerning the Purpose Driven Life even though like us he would not agree with all of its theology or conclusions...
Hi Mike, I wouldn't disagree with what you wrote. As far as the PDL movement is concerned, it's one thing to say God is sovereign in the midst of erroneous...
