DG reprints an earlier article from Piper called "Being Loved and Being Hated." A brief excerpt: "Would you pray with me that hundreds among us would embrace being hated for the sake of love?

Thabiti,
Thanks for this post. Regarding the television post, I suggest folks read David Wells' book, "No Place for Truth." It is the first in his series of four. In this book, Wells brilliantly lays out what the television has done not just to humanity writ large but to the Evangelicals as well. It is excellent analysis and convicting. Turn it off! The overwhelmingly vast majority of humanity lived without it!
