Piper Resources

Monergism is doing some great new stuff, including adding a page of John Piper resources that gives easy access to tons of stuff: books, mp3's, sermons, essays, stuff by topic, etc.  Bookmark it and use it often.

By the way, we need to name this Piper picture.  My best three: "The Piper Moose," "Piper plays paper football," or "Piper asking God for a 'high ten'"

Piper struts his stuff in an audition for the "Happy Hands" club.

[Jason Sampler]

Piper reaches out to receive the first infant baptized member at BBC. (I know it's not true, but it still irks me).

[James Paul]

"Piper picks the spread on Seahawks over Colts on Christmas Eve!"

[Kurt Nordstrom]

Dangit, Pete stole my caption!

How about: "Piper demonstrates the proper hand work for using Force Lightning."

[Steve McCoy]

How about...

"Hey, watch these two turkeys kiss."

[pete wmson]

"Here's how many more years we have before we're done with Romans"

[Steve McCoy]

"I'm now a 10 point Calvinist!"

[pete wmson]

"Hey guys! Look! I'm trapped inside an invisible box!"

[James Paul]

[Mike Nokaes]

I'M OPEN!!!

[David]

Foreshadowing half the sermons in Kentucky tomorrow, P-diddy encourages the congregation to "make a goal for Jesus" by miming a two handed set shot circa his youth. GO CATS!!

[Nick P.]

Look mom Pastor John is moon-lighting as a MIME!

[Joe Kennedy]

BOO!

Qoute from Piper's staff about TULIP on desiringgod.org

"Nevertheless, we must also own up to the fact that our final salvation is made contingent upon the subsequent obedience which comes from faith. The way these two truths fit together is that we are justified on the basis of our first act of faith because God sees in it (like he can see the tree in an acorn) the embryo of a life of faith"

Does this statement bother anyone??

[Tim Etherington]

"I can see my name up in lights...."

Nate, I don't really have a problem with the Piper quote because the alternative is that you can be saved and produce no works whatsoever. What I think Pastor John is getting at is not that we're saved by works, listen to him on the New Perspective on Paul some time, but just agreeing with James. Faith without works is dead. Not that works save but that real saving faith has feet. It does something.

I understand what you mean Tim, however I wonder about the word "Contingent", and also the fact that he says God sees in the one act the LIFE OF FAITH. It seems interesting to me, anyway peaceout

[Kiki]

I think he's leading the congregation in singing, "One little, two little, three little Calvinists........"

[D.R. Randle]

Nate,

You should go read "The Race Set Before Us" by Tom Schreiner and Ardel Canaday and then go back and re-read (assuming that if you are a Piper fan you already have) Future Grace. Those two books combined explain Piper's (as well as the others who hold to "means of salvation" view as opposed to simply Lordship) understanding of the faith-works controversy. TRSBU is an incredible work of Biblical Theology in my opinion.

As for the Piper pic, as looks up at his wife from his knees:

"Ok, Noel, I'll take the trash out. Just please give me my palm pad* back."

*I've heard Piper is addicted to his palm pad.
