I have nothing but love and respect for Dr. Piper. His books and preaching have challenged me for years and still do. I appreciate his willingness to address difficult issues of the day. One of the sad realities of our day is how we have lost the art of disagreement.

    It takes courage to dissent but more courage to dissent with grace and reason. This is well written demonstrating both. You are describing a battle that many are having which is separating the elements of the current climate and upcoming election. These both are intensified with the long pandemic season which attacks spirits and affects individuals ‘ ability to think clearly. There are enough people out there who have platforms and shouldn’t speak; surely those with faith should be able to demonstrate reason and discourse. Much needed in this time.
