Resisting writing about this was the greatest temptation during my writing break.
Piper’s invitation to Warren doesn’t infuriate me or upset me and I find the spectrum of reactions quite amusing. I love that Piper is upsetting some of his followers, causing them to turn away from his leadership. 
Those who would make him judge and king over Christendom act as if they’ve had their hopes dashed by yet another false messiah.
I doubt that he was oblivious to the potential consequences of inviting Warren to his conference. So this is not a mistake but rather a strategic move to sift the harsh and unruly band of followers who claim Piper as their king.
Piper invited Warren to his conference, therefore Piper endorses every word that Warren has ever said and everything Warren has ever done – so goes the logic for some.
I hope this does send Piperettes running for the exits. Please go… go find a messiah who actually desires your unmitigated affection.
John Piper is not that messiah.
