Piper on Eloquence
Feb 5th
Thanks to David Lahm for posting this on Facebook.
Here’s a link to a message by John Piper on holy vs. vain eloquence. Its a very important topic; on which I mentally wrestle with weekly. I particularly like the sentence by James Denney: “No man can give the impression that he himself is clever and that Christ is mighty to save.” Piper goes on to distinguish a sophisticated turn of phrase from eloquently expounding the glory of God, using Paul’s words in 1 Cor. 1:17 as him impetus.
Highly recommended reading!
