Living Inside Psalm 51: A Conversation with David Roseberry In a sense, Psalm 51 is emblematic of the Old Testament. It struggles with sin and the distance it creates from God.

"But living inside [Psalm 51]β€”slowly, verse by verseβ€”was something else entirely. It stopped feeling familiar once I moved past the one-liners. King David isn’t wrestling abstractly with sin. He’s been found out. He’s stopped defending himself."

… Calvinist theology – perceived as "bulletproof" – having some practical weaknesses and pastoral implications which, though not ubiquitous, were enough to upset me and my wife as parents of a special needs child.

2008! I've actually heard this very audio/article. This was (as is) a subject of interest for me, and I was a Piper listener back then. By the time he was associating with D W***on, M D***coll, and others with the TGC, I was already veering off of my exploration into Calvinist waters on account of …

And in the world of Christian Nationalism, it looks like they've reached the "Farewell John Piper" stage.

(15 years later...the original Farewell RB was on 2/26/2011!)

The freak outs about #JohnPiper show a reality we already knew. That for many, seeing Scripture use the word Stranger, Foreigner, Oppressed, Poor, imprisoned, or hungry, will immediately initiate a response. Because they cant comprehend how God would care about those they do not.

Baptist pastor John Piper becomes a target for daring to quote Leviticus 19:34; fellow Protestants twist themselves into pretzels justifying that 'the stranger who sojourns among you' does not apply to 'those people'. Meanwhile the Pope takes hits for suggesting we should be nice to one another.

When John Piper quoted the Bible, some fellow pastors didn't say 'amen.' They said he got it wrong. https://churchleaders.com/news/2214231-john-piper-social-media-immigration.html
