Abraham vociferously denies he’s attacking Christianity, but the effeminate is a liar. But then one stops to consider Abraham’s vitriol, realizing only hatred could produce such mockery and scorn for the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. While it’s true the sin of backsliding can be a habit, and also that repentance makes all things new, even to seventy times seven (as our Lord said 1 ), what each of these men has done and said publicly makes any follower of Jesus Christ tremble for their souls.Īs he mocks his father’s God and the Holy Scripture his father preaches, Abraham Piper’s filthy language strikes the listener as the nonsensical rants of a lunatic. For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. Such men are spoken of in Hebrews providing us the strongest warning of that book of warnings:įor in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. His son is building his as an anti-Christian communicator.Ĭommenting on the Parable of the Seeds and Soils in his excellent book, The Waiting Father, Helmut Thielicke made an observation that is helpful concerning apostates such as Josh Harris, Franky Schaefer, and Abraham Piper-”The anti-Christian is always a half-Christian gone mad.” John built his followers as a Christian communicator. Today, it’s fifteen years later and, finally, the son has the same number of social media subscribers as his father-both hovering around a million.

We were praying like crazy that he wouldn’t get somebody pregnant, or marry the wrong person, or whatever. …for the next four years, he was walking away from the Lord, trying to make a name for himself …and just doing anything but destroying himself. After the restoration, John described those four years of Abraham’s life: Four years later, Bethlehem Baptist restored Abraham to the fellowship of the Lord’s table. Twenty years ago, the church where John Piper preached and raised his children excommunicated his son, Abraham.
