I can still hear the tone of withheld amazement in Piper’s voice when some years ago John Piper talked about a conversation he had with God when he first realized that his wife was equal to him. My first response was that I wondered what his marriage was like before he realized that women were equal to men. My second thought was I wondered where this would lead John in the future. One thing I’ve always appreciated about Piper is that he has a sincere passion. Now I wonder with some amazement myself, if this concern with personal pride is a result of that initial insight of woman’s equality with man.

My applause is to Piper for his passionate decision to get things in order in the Lord. I pray that he comes out of it a better person and more in tune with mutuality and unity in his marriage and a new and better vision of the mutuality and unity God means for the body of believers.
