For instance, in response to the 2004 Asian tsunami, Piper wrote, "The point of every deadly calamity is this: Repent" and "Pain says: 'What sin deserves is this, only worse.'" Piper also said the 2009 tornado that struck downtown Minneapolis was sent to punish the Lutherans, who decided earlier that day to allow homosexuals to become ministers, and said the 2007 I-35W bridge collapse happened to instill the fear of God in people.
