Is John Piper's Christian Hedonism a Problem?

I love John Piper, but in this video, I'll be tackling the controversial issues of Christian Hedonism as he describes and defends it. I've defended my understanding of what he's saying in the past, but can I still do this in light of more recent insights? Did Jesus preach the gospel of evangelicalism? https://youtu.be/pZc1vmR4BmI?si=WgDYb1sVt0ZzfRuA John Piper's full discussion with Guy Waters and J.V.

Apologia VS. Brandan Robertson, and the Purpose of Debate

In this analysis, I look at the recent debate between James White and Jeff Durbin's debate with Brandan Robertson. In this debate they argue as the sinful or righteous nature of homosexual relationships in light of scripture. What is the nature of scripture, what does it teach, and what kind of authority should it have over us? In my comments I ask the question of what purpose debates should have in our minds. How should we approach engaging in them or consuming them? Check out my gaming channel...

Is The Asbury Revival From The Lord?

Asbury University has recently begun a spontaneous multi-day revival service. Is this outpouring of worship a true move of the Holy Spirit or is it planned and manufactured? Is God and his gospel and his glory at the center of it, or could it lead to heretical teaching? How are we to sort this out?

The Onion of Human Pride

In this brief video, I talk about the dilemma of examining our own motivations as Christians. How do we avoid pride while doing good? The human heard and the pride it produces are much like an onion.

Matt Chandler and the Dilemma of Celebrity Pastors

Matt Chandler has recently stepped down, at least temporarily due to a potentially inappropriate connection with a woman from his church in online conversation. He and his church have explained that the relationship is not sexual or romantic, but overly frequent and unguarded in nature. My home church is a part of the Acts 29 church planting network, so what might I have to say about this?
