I tell you, it's downright fruity. There is simply no commonsense when it comes to this issue. It seems to either be magic hair or cut hair. That is very disconcerting.
Further, the emergents are pushing their agenda in a big way. They are wanting to throw the baby out with the wash.
Look, I am not advocating McCarthyism. I am not requesting a witch hunt.
But please, for the love of all that is holy and good, where are the moderates? |
I agree with a lot that you say except I am from a different perspective.
I will tell you something that I just hear John Piper say. He said, that Liberalism has a way of correcting itself because the second generation will always rebel against the previous generation.
If these people are rebelling just for the sake of rebellion then there will never be any real change. But if it is truth, and there is truth in what is going on even if the motives are wrong, then the changes will happen.
Without the power of the gospel these people will not be effective and their movement will fade away as well. My hope is that these young ministers will have a true revelation of the gospel and all their antics will be short lived.
