As your John recently led a Q&A with the students of Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia,

here's one question from one of the students.

Hello, Dr. John Piper.

I became informed after hearing you preach through John Chapter 6, 2009, I believe it was.

So I probably wouldn't even be here at Westminster.

I wouldn't even thought about this school if it wasn't for just listening to you so

very much indebted to you.

You're welcome, Westminster.

Just keeping in thinking along the lines of what you said this morning, I was very intrigued

by you unpacking tulip and connecting it to just racial harmony.

One of my goals in ministry is I think about doing theology.

I want to connect, I want to bring reform theology to African-Americans, Black people.

One of my issues I'm thinking about is, how does reform theology speak to certain issues,

cultural issues in the Black community?

Some would say that we're going through a cultural crisis right now, high unemployment,

high abortion rates, a ton of things, crime rates through the roof, and certain issues

that I want to speak to prophetically.

And I'm wondering, I haven't thought about this because I've only been reformed for a few

years and I'm still growing in my theology and kind of thinking through the implications

of it, but you've been reformed a lot longer than me, so probably you have more thoughts

on this.

Can reform theology speak to specific cultural issues that would you advise a budding I guess
