When tragedies happen, you want to post something like this:
not something like this:
Michael Frost was kind enough to post on Twitter: ‘John Piper should sack whoever writes his tweets for him.” giving Piper a pass on the responsibility. Tuesday night the post had been removed from JP’s feed.
UPDATE 5/24/13 — Piper explains why the Twitter posts were removed.
now that’s seriously embarrassing and disturbing…incredibly foolish. if i had my ‘big book’ in front of me i would find a psalm wording something like: ‘and the tongues of those fools shall be cut off’ (something of the sort)…!

Puzzling. Was this really in reference to the OK tragedy? Seems more a case of happenstance.

No, JP admitted it to be in direct response, and explained how he originally thought it was going to be received. I put it here with minimal comment, some people really took him to task for it. His explanation is in the update.
