Ganging Up on Gratitude: Piper Responds to the Thankless

I wish I had discovered this before today, but it's well worth sharing still. This week, John Piper responded to recent comments from famed atheist Christopher Hitchens and from former clergy John Shelby Spong. Each degraded gratitude: Hitchens for its implication that God is worth thanking; and Spong because giving thanks is weak. Take in Piper's illuminating remarks.

Surprisingly, Piper doesn't likewise address the two cents of Spong's counterpart, Dwight K. Schrute.
