John Piper’s view of planning for retirement. In short, don’t waste your life.
It’s so refreshing to hear this advice coming from the same generation that feeds us this garbage about being anxious for tomorrow. (Matt. 6:34)

I’m really …
I’m really skeptical of people who think that spreading Christianity is something that you can do from the comfort of your own home. America is the richest country the world has ever seen. John Piper would be counted as rich by 99.9% of people who have ever walked the earth. Your average world citizen would notice John Pipers clean water, comfy house, low-crime area, and plentiful food. They would not notice John Pipers old blazer unless he pointed it out.
Ohh man.. soooo …
Ohh man.. soooo wrong.. the pipe beast doesnt run heat in the winter so they can support more missionaries throughout the year.. he’s worn the same blazer while preaching for 20 some odd years.. Money is the last thing he wants, phil 4:17, its just necessary to further the kingdom. Research him, he’s a beast. Matthew 6:21, where is your treasure..?
Beautiful, Dr. …
Beautiful, Dr. Piper.

You haven’t really studied under Piper ha, this would explain your ignorant comment.
John Piper asks …
John Piper asks people for money his entire life, and then tells them they can’t retire? The front page of his web site is how to “support his ministry” (Wouldn’t you think a warning about might be more important on the front page?) When John Piper doesn’t need to ask people for money, and he’s actually worked a day in their shoes, THEN he can tell them how to spend their older years.

Well , if God had any sense he would probably be found on a beach in Australia somewhere , sipping a tinny and watching the waves roll in. Bad people get sent to England when they die ,to drive around London in the rain. Repent !

you remind me how I used to be. I thought the same things you did regarding religion, God and Christianity etc… it’s ok, I respect that. Each to their own. Maybe you too will find God one day.

No ! Everything out of his mouth is raw sewage , only to be digested by religious fundamentalists , not normal people.

“and get a tan on your old leathery 70 year old skin so you look like a shammy… those old knarled legs…” LOL
I have to admit, I really crack up when no one is around when Pastor John Piper gets really descriptive, I love it. I’m an artist and I can tell if God didn’t call him to pastorialship, he would definitely be a journalist or somewhere in the journalism field (well he has written many books, but my point is)…
Everything out of …
Everything out of this man’s mouth is like gold…. he’s got such a handle on all of this.
Jglang3992 (post #2),
Piper does encourage (and live) a simple (for America) lifestyle to free up more energy and money for gospel purposes, but it’s not accurate to say he doesn’t heat his home in the winter to save money. He lives in Minnesota! I have been to his house and can attest that he does turn on the heat, lol.
He does walk the talk though. I think his family only buys used cars and he doesn’t personally keep any of the royalties from his books, but the royalties go back into ministry funds.
