Piper’s response to the Driscoll and Macarthur controversy.
I am so thankful for the grace, truth, and wisdom of John Piper towards Mark Driscoll. Unlike, sadly, that which John MacArthur and Phil Johnson have shown.

I love that guy.
I am just glad to finally hear what Piper has to say on the issue of two of his friends going at it…
Piper is careful and compassionate. Very helpful with this current situation.
Comment by Lin HERE :
“That’s the Holy Spirit telling you it’s you. I didn’t name you–he did.”
LINK to Lin’s quote above: http://freedom4captives.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/33-driscoll-rants-at-abusers-abusively
Sorry, but the quote is trash. Plain and simple.
“Lin” may want to familiarize himself with the Bible, particularly what Jesus had to say to and about the Pharisees, lest he think that Driscoll is entering new rhetorical waters in the Christian realm.
You guys are so weak and feeble. I would submit that men can handle this tone. In fact I know several men who upon hearing this sermon wept in repentance and then went to their wives seeking forgiveness and confessing their sins and lack of faithfulness in following Christ in their family. This is the exact tone that Jesus took with the hypocrits of his day. Shame on a man that would abuse and neglect his wife. If one does what is shameful he ought to feel shame. That is the point in 2 Cor. and 2 Peter of pointing out actions that are shameful.
I would suspect the root cause to be a desire to conitnue in the femenist mindset that has plagued American Churches and called them away from fidelity to the text.
skeet,
Who is “you guys?” I am sure it is not myself because I agree with everything you have said. But just to let you know, comments like, “you guys are so weak and feeble” are really unhelpful when you dont even specify who you are talking to…
