For a long time Larry Stallard asked me if I had ever read John Piper. Well, I have never been much of a reader, but he periodically kept asking, so I decided to check out if this guy to see if he had a podcast so I could listen to what he had to say. By the way, Piper is the Senior Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis.
For quite some time now I have been downloading Pastor John's sermons off the internet (they are available from iTunes for free) and have found them to be wonderful. Piper is a theologian and a most practical speaker. He not only preaches and explains the Bible, but his love of the Lord comes through so clearly. I think this is partly because he is about our age and has life experience to back up what he preaches in such a humble, yet authoritative way. I'd highly recommend that you take a listen to what he has to say some time soon. Or pick up one of his many books. You can get more info and some great resources at his website called Desiring God (www.desiringgod.org).
Thanks Larry for introducing John Piper to me!
