Continue reading “John Piper is Wrong About Hell (But I Still Thank God for Him!)” → I won’t be quoting every word of Piper’s article, so I encourage you to read it for yourself, it’s not long. 2 John Piper, “Unforgiven: The Eternal Tragedy of the Lost,” Desiring God, July 20, 2017, accessed July 20, 2017. An excerpt from a message he gave on the topic of Hell was just posted this morning at the Desiring God website. A good, godly man who God uses mightily can occasionally be just plain wrong. Having said all that, I believe that Piper is simply wrong about the nature of hell and the fate of the unrighteous. And if I had known that I would be writing this article this morning, I still would not have hesitated to use Piper’s article last night. 1 John Piper, “Biopsy Blows and the Helmet of Hope,” Desiring God, July 28, 2009, accessed July 20, 2017. And just last night, not knowing that I would be writing this article this morning, I used an article of Piper as part of a Bible study at the church where I serve. During those years my coworkers and I were often encouraged and strengthened to continue in a very difficult ministry by things Piper wrote or said. I was blessed with the opportunity to serve the Lord in the world’s largest Muslim nation for fourteen years. I have been one of many to benefit from Piper’s books, sermons, and articles. 
I thank God for John Piper and the work God has done and continues to do through him.
