Pastor John has six tragic observations from a mainline church, and a helpful report card to check our tendencies to make assumptions about God. Cue the Mission Impossible theme track because John Piper went undercover. Well, not really. No disguises were used. Pastor John, you recently attended a mainline church service here in the Twin Cities. I’m curious, and I’m sure many others are curious, to get a debrief of your experience and what you saw. Tell us about it, and what circumstances led you there in the first place.
