Dead Chickens Walking

‘…I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.’  ~ John 17:9b

• Remember that scene in ‘Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade’ when Indy stumbled upon a book-burning rally?

 

• To-day marks the end of the line for my broilers.  Ask not for whom the bell tolls, chicken.  It tolls for thee.

 

• As with all fallible men, I do not agree with everything Mark Driscoll has to say but, conversely, a great deal of what he espouses appeals to me (his devotion to sound doctrine is to be greatly admired).  For example, I am very much in step with his call for Christian men to return to a biblical masculinity; yet, I take issue with his worship style and his ’embracing’ of culture as necessary to spreading the gospel.  To be sure, he has no dearth of critics: ‘Mark Driscoll, the chest-thumping, LA-dressing, pastor of Mars Hill Church must be feeling the heat from the current of criticism that’s warming his backside.’

 

IF IT BE HERESY, LET US MAKE THE MOST OF IT!
