Of this we are clear: man’s salvation rests on the fact of the cross, and neither on the preacher’s interpretation of it, nor on the hearers’ understanding of it. Our desire is that men should believe that fact, not accept our explanations. ‘Christ died for our sins’ is enough without any further elucidation. Moreover, our appeal is never that men should accept a theory about the cross but that they should receive a Person who died for them. To this end we shall continue to preach Christ crucified, because what is folly to the intellectualist and a stumbling-block to the moralist, remains the wisdom and the power of God (1 Cor. 1:23-24).

John Piper - Why I abominate the prosperity gospel

I questioned whether abominate was really a verb, but it seems it is. This is a great and well-thought-out (and strongly Biblical) response against the prosperity gospel.

An Open Letter to the Halloween Protest Organizer Yesterday.
