Here’s the full story.
DATELINE Souix Falls, Montana… A large horsefly that had innocently enough flown through a large open door and attempted to land on John Piper’s face during a recent preaching engagement instead met its untimely demise, sources confirmed Tuesday says the irreverent website the Babylon Bee.
As Preacher John Piper eloquently and passionately pleaded with anyone who could hear to draw near to Christ and flee the mighty wrath of God’s judgment that is to come, audience members watched in great suspense as the preacher continued.
“God’s hand is raised in judgment! It is ready to fall upon any who will not receive Christ!” Piper appealed to his audience in great emotion, his hands flailing wildly around his position at the lectern as the fly came nearer and nearer.
The crowd waited with bated breath as the insect made its final approach, when sure enough, Piper’s powerful right arm whizzed out from his person, killing the fly on contact and making an audible thud that resonated throughout the auditorium, according to witnesses.
At the end of the sermon, over thirty people reportedly gave their lives to Christ.
John Stephen Piper (born January 11, 1946) is an American Reformed Baptist continuationist pastor and author who is the founder and leader of desiringGod.org and is the chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
