Is God's Love Unconditional?
I appreciate the intellectual depth that John Piper brings to Christianity. His website is a great place to start for a richer theological understanding of Christianity beyond the two sentence fights you see played out on CNN and on the side of buses in the U.K..
A great example is this blog post in which he deconstructs "unconditional love" and points out that while God does have unconditional love, it is not for everyone. While this is a hard thing to hear, I think it is a necessary assertion for other aspects of Christian theology (or at least my flavor) to hold together.
"There is such a thing as unconditional love in God, but it’s not what most people mean by it. "
