Last updated on: November 1, 2020 at 4:34 pm By Bethany Blankley

In a recent column, John Piper, the founder of desiringGod.org, former chancellor of Bethlehem College and Seminary and former pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, recently argued that boastfulness is worse than abortion, and because President Donald J. Trump is boastful he says he did not vote for him. In a recent article Piper wrote, “I think it is baffling and presumptuous to assume that pro-abortion policies kill more people than a culture-saturating, pro-self pride.

Last updated on: October 27, 2020 at 11:35 am By Bethany Blankley
