PAUL TRIPP LIKES TO SAY THE S-WORD

Steve Camp has a disconcerting post PAUL TRIPP-PING – HE REALLY LIKES TO SAY THE “S” WORD…has Piper lost his mind or just forgotten his Bible? which begins:
Paul Tripp has discovered the “s” word. He likes to say it; he giggles like a red-faced school girl when he does; he thinks its cool; he thinks he’s cutting edge and culturally relevant; he thinks he’s being radical; he thinks he’s being profound; he thinks he’s being biblical, but yet never quotes one verse of Scripture; and Piper has produced this wasteful intestinal discharge (pun intended) and condones what Tripp is saying. Who has spiked the water in Minnesota?…
FYI: this is one of the promo videos for Piper’s upcoming DG Conference “The Power of Words and the Wonder of God” at the end of September produced by his ministry.

Over at Slice of Laodicea Ingrid Schlueter adds:
Steve Camp has a good post up about yet another Christian speaker who thinks that filthy language is chic. Thank you, Mark Driscoll, for your example. We really appreciate it. What is it with evangelicals and toilet language these days? When men like John Piper give credence to this kind of thing, is it any wonder we’re seeing a trend?
Maybe it made Paul Tripp feel manly to use the s-word. With the effeminization of men these days, that’s about all that’s left in many of their arsenals. What the real issue seems to be is maturity. Back in 4th grade, the attention seekers would do just about anything to stand out from the crowd… (Online source)
From my comment at Camp On This:
Such is the state of evangelicalism: *tee hee* Paul said a swear.” *tee hee* Mighty fine preaching. Any of the kids I used to coach in football could have “shared” that.
It is as I said to a couple of friends today, stagnating readership and funding have me seriously considering closing AM.
O what a dolt I am writing about actual issues facing the Body of Christ as apostasy sweeps through the American Christian Church like an Oklahoma wildfire.
If I want to keep AM I guess I’ll have to revert back to my Junior High days where I was voted Class Clown. Then I’ll really rock dawg…
