To love one woman faithfully, to be intentional with my children, to live with integrity in an upside-down world, and do the right thing no matter how much it hurts.

John Piper's son writes a letter
I was particullary moved by this letter Abraham Piper read before his father's talk. It was both honorable and funny at the same time.
It is a blessing to know that there are kids in this world that realize the true blessing they have in their Christian fathers and it is a blessing that there are fathers who love their sons through the ups and downs of their lives. I am encouraged by your words as I have a son that is twenty one and has had ups and downs in his walk. Your testimony sounded like one that I hope he shares with me and his father one day. We are trying to do the things you encourage parents to do. Thank you for your honesty.
