Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
I no longer have any use for him. His anti-Trump editorial was *so bad* that it revealed his soundness of judgment is completely gone. Like less judgment than Doug Wilson. That bad.
As I said at the time, that article revealed that he is a train wreck as an ethicist. And as a friend of mine said recently, the "Deplorables" are the modern equivalent of "tax collectors and sinners" in the eyes of Bourgeois evangelicals. There is no winsomeness or empathy to be extended to them. No one recommends showing Deplorables the love of Jesus. They only warrant judgmentalism and denunciation.
That does not mean that I write off all the good work that John Piper has ever done, but the extremity of his errors (in relation to completely missing the bigger picture) on gun control, self-defence, Donald Trump, vaccines, and so forth reveal that he has very poor judgment.
