Don't Waste Your Pulpit

God bless you John Piper.

good preaching !

This is a great message I am thinking not going back to my family's church because the pastor is 'wasting' his pulpit by preaching his opinion on things rather than what God is saying. so I don't hear the Bible i hear the pastor. God Bless

I just got back though from a church camp was wonderful praise God though :)

amen!

what is the title of the song in the background?

interesting, i didnt know truth was confined to the pulpit

I do not think that that's what Piper is saying. Truth does exist outside of the Scriptures, that's called general revelation. However, the only source of CERTAIN truth can be found only in the Bible, that's called special revelation. Look at Paul's weighty exhortation to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4. "I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the WORD..." Preach the Word. We dare not disobey Paul.

no, you can find truth many places, but it's partial truth, whereas when the anointed person God put is talking the WoG then it's not man speaking but God speaking through a man, and that is the Truth.

The Truth what is it? Jesus already answered.
in John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

so, then its God that's in the pulpit and not the man.

You can't have you cake and eat it too. This makes no sense.
