I do think Piper lacks discernment sometimes. Having said that: while I don't like Warren's pragmatism (if it works, it's OK) I hate even more the British, Reformed 'anti-pragmatism' (if it works, it's ungodly); I read Purpose-Driven Church and learned some useful things from it; and our church did, a couple of years ago, read through 'A Purpose-driven life'. I wouldn't do it again, and it didn't revolutionise things here. On the other hand, it didn't destroy anything, either.<br /><br />So, I'm going to content myself with going to EMA - Piper without Warren.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487468680191237246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17160917.post-5412348324838768512010-04-01T13:54:42.748+01:002010-04-01T13:54:42.748+01:00Are you still going to T4G?
