General Theology

Exporting Prosperity

by Tim Lien

“Tim, why do preach pain so much? Tim, why do your sermons seem so heavy on suffering?”

An email has lingered in my inbox for quite some time, containing a link to John Piper preaching in Birmingham. How does the Reformed Gospel differ from Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, Paul Crouch, Joel Osteen, Robert Tilton and every other charletan shyster? Listen to this. (It is precisely 3 minutes long.)

“God is good…always”

This is how a Reformed friend of mine concluded an e-mail the night after his father—a PCA elder—died of cancer at age 53 about a year and a half ago.

That is precisely how the Reformed Gospel differs from the “Bible” that these folks present.

Great video, BTW. It hits that point exactly.
