DISQUS

I realize that many will be offended by Piper in this, and I understand their objections.

With that said, my feeling is that Piper is a prophetic voice in this area, that God is using him. Maybe we wouldn't use the same words, or even would rather him not use words like "crap" from the pulpit. However, I think he's performing a prophetic function in the church here.

The reason I say that is because the abuses of the prosperity message has become a real thorn in the side of the church, and is doing almost inestimable harm to the cause of Christ. Of of the leading voices in popular Christianity, there have been so few corrective voices in this area. I, for one, am grateful to John Piper for his spirited response.

Are you a bears fan, who has seen the light in Kerry Collins after the comeback?

dude - watching a game with me is "an experience", as I "nurse my beer belly?"

At least there aren't catalogues of small gadgets, wiring diagrams, capacitors, and ripped open twinkie wrappers in MY bathroom.

Now people know what you do in your "home office".

Ask Martha about steak fingers!

I don't know if this counts, but I had sardines last night at midnight, and left the unrinsed can in the trash overnight.

She almost killed me, it smelled so bad this morning.

You are a complete money-sucking, greedy, sorry rascal for doing that, Ben. In between making millions of dollars due to other companies, I love reading your blog. But - I can't do that anymore. Because you are the one person on the planet greedier than I am. You should be ashamed of yourself. You've prostituted yourself to THE MAN.
