He is the man. He is also a serious and humble man, who considers his job a joy to minister to the members of his church. I pray we have many Piper's in the church today.

Oh yea, he's the real deal alrite... Found him to be such a reliable guide on issues like open theism, spiritual gifts, supremacy of God in preaching and coming soon - New perspective on justification :D I had the chance to meet Piper when he came back from sabbatical in August… very humble and approachable in person, even meek.

You are totally right, His God-centered view and quest for joy is old/new and refreshing for the church. Thanks Dane, and thanks for a great point.

Aside from the supremacy of the glory of God, that is the single most important influence Piper has perhaps had on me, by the grace of the Lord and to his honor.

After his talk, along line formed so that people could get their John Piper books signed by him. Most of you know how much I appreciate Dr. Piper. His works and life have influenced me more than any other modern day preacher/pastor/theologian. I wrote a whole blog entry on why I admired him so much. But as I sat there watching the throng gather for their books to be signed, I felt a bit uneasy. I’m not exactly sure why but getting my book signed by a person seemed to convey, at least at the time, a bit of celebrityism.

I just finished researching non profits. John Piper didn't even take one dime in salary from "Desiring God". He is the real deal. Sproul took in over 200,000 + book royalties(go figure) Piper takes zero for book royalties. see www.destroyingstrongholds.blogspot.com Great Post. I just finished researching non profits.
