Through the looking glass: Bob.blog

by bobhyatt from the bob.blog

1. Johnny Mac is coming out with a book on the emerging church, called The Truth War: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception. Wonderful. It has a nice snake on the cover. I wonder what he’s trying to get across??

Prepare for round two of the pummeling. More people with very little real world understanding of the emerging church, very little desire to actually know it, publishing more words based not on reality, but on claims made by other critics of the emerging church. You know…
We don’t believe in truth.
We’re a little squishy on Jesus.
We’re riding our freakin’ bicycles around labrynths, while fingerpainting.
Stuff like that.

And the fund raising has begun! Dan Kimball responds well…

And another Dan wonders… as MacArthur researched and wrote this book, did he:

…personally sit down with EC leaders and get firsthand answers to his concerns?

…personally talk to a wide range of real people who left “traditional” churches in favor of Emerging Churches to find out why they did?

…personally talk to a wide range of real people in Emerging Churches to see what their doctrinal stances truly are?

2. Speaking of John MacArthur (and Mark Driscoll!), here’s John MacArthur taking on Mark Driscoll! Now that’s a Celebrity Death Match™ I’d like to see…

Constructive criticism I can handle. Positive and progressive wrestling with ideas - good, great! in fact. But propaganda? Not too keen on that I must say…no matter the intention. And a snake?! Seriously now John
