Piper is one of the preeminent Calvinsts of our day.
He just has a very emotional personality. He is a bit of a gusher. And people like that often struggle with assurance in everything- their faith just being one of the things they sometimes lack assurance in.
Does God love everyone?

As for the second question, I seem to recall something in the Bible that says "God is angry with the wicked everyday", not just their wickedness. -

Who remembers what they wrote back in 2008?

As to the OP, the Scriptures are clear in their answer. Unfaithfulness in declaring the Word has caused many to balk at the Word and what it really says - they don't want to hear it, they enjoy remaining oblivious to all the truths of Scripture. All that are otherwise be careful to thank God for your stance, it is all to His glory. -

Should I ridicule you now in retaliation? I don't have to you do that. You do it well enough to your self every time you get so emotional over discussing scripture

Does God love those He does not chastise?
Does God love those who do not fear Him?
Does God love those to whom He will say on the Final Day --I never knew you?
Does God love those in eternal perdition? -
"love your enemies." -

But to entertain your questions:
- Does God love those He does not chastise?
What makes you think that God does not "chastise?"
Seems that the Scriptures show that God brings rebuke to all humankind as the "wages" demand payment.
Did He not cast out those in the temple?
- Does God love those who do not fear Him? What makes you think that God does not? Was there a time you did not fear Him? Did He love you in spite of that lack of fear?
- Does God love those to whom He will say on the Final Day --I never knew you?
That is an interesting question.
Can one love those that one does not know?
If not, why support missionaries?
Is love constrained by who someone knows?
A child still in the womb is loved, but do the parents actually "know" the child - experiential speaking?
- Does God love those in eternal perdition? He provided a place for them didn't he? He reminds them continually of their condition and what the rejection they presented to God is now condemned them - just as the rich man's statement of his condition. This may not seem like love because human kind tend to consider love only with positive outcomes and pie in the sky terms.
Does God require from the believer what He does not of Himself? "love your enemies." - Does God love those He does not chastise?
