...if they should be lost to me, I would not rail against the Almighty

He gives himself more credit for loving his children than he gives God.

While I won't defend his statement (at the very bottom of the page, if you are interested, then you won't have to read the whole thing), I think calling him, "content" is unfair.

... though I think I would give my life for their salvation ...

He has a point, though I expect if I read further I would find I disagree significantly with him, because I believe all God's gifts are good, and good for us, and the "simple pleasures of earth" are more likely to help us love God than not. (Note: I do not classify "the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night" as a simple pleasure, nor as an unalloyed gift of God.)

But in truth I'm not likely to read enough to be able to argue with him. Piper may have valuable things to say, but I'm not willing to trust anything said by a man who is content that his own children be damned.
