Mr. Piper brings it home with this one.


"Christians, more clearly than others, can see the tidal wave of pain that is on the way. Sin carries in it its own misery: “Men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error”

John Piper

Some of the worst punishment God can give is leaving us blind to His law.  "He gave them up to their own desires..."  

Piper rules.  He, Grudem, and Mohler are some of my favs...

I enjoyed the article. I have read some of his stuff before.

loved it.

He says:

         Christians, more clearly than others, can see the tidal wave of pain that is on the way. Sin carries in it its own misery:
         “Men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans 1:27).

Indeed, we do see what is on the way. For the governments that have institutionalized sin we have seen a collective
punishment. We are seeing that collective punishment now - balkanization and the decent to third-world status - right before
our eyes.

May Christ keep and protect His own.

am new to Piper.

he speaks TRUTH to sin. Good!
