John Piper: How to Spread a Culture of Modesty in Your Church

Babylon Bee (satire): Crossway Publishing has thrown their hat into the console gaming ring with their announcement of the upcoming John Piper’s Don’t Waste Your Life: The Game … One moment gamers are evangelizing at the drive-through, and the next they’re going above-and-beyond at their day job, all in the pursuit of CHP (Christian Hedonism Points).

Roger Olson: These Calvinist attacks on Arminianism are shameless and unworthy of Christian gentlemen and scholars.

Roger Olson: My problem with Piper’s article, and with his “Christian hedonism” in general, lies in that one seemingly insignificant sentence: “It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure that is to be had in him.”

The issue is not primarily about when and if a Christian may ever use force in self-defense, or the defense of one’s family or friends. There are significant situational ambiguities in the answer to that question. The issue is about the whole tenor and focus and demeanor and heart-attitude of the Christian life.
