I'm with Jen... what do you think? ;) I really appreciate the message, and the passion. I have a hard time with John Piper since learning that he holds to complementarian views of gender roles. A touchy subject for me, you know. But if we're talking about the video as separate as possible from John Piper, I think it's a good message. But truth be told, I do not think I could stand over the body of my dead child and say god is enough.
Yeah, I don't know if I could ever call that a beautiful thing. It is actually pretty revolting to me. And I'm not really down with glorifying poverty or suffering, but I agree that American exported Christianity is lots of times icky and dishonest and harmful.
Yeah- the issue I had with this video was the whole dead child thing. Otherwise I appreciated his passion for the subject of poverty and the prosperity gospel. Also- not a huge John Piper fan since I had to read his book for Human Sexuality and it was AWFUL.

Wow, I don't know that I've ever heard John Piper be that angry.
Huh. I don't know, what do you think about that video?
