God Is Still Holy and What You Learned in Sunday School Is Still True

But before we let Bell and others write the present story, we must remember that there are also a “staggering number” of young people who want the straight up, unvarnished truth. They want doctrinal edges and traditional orthodoxy. They want no-holds-barred preaching. They don’t want to leave traditional Christianity. They are ready to go deeper into it.

I am one of these. Wanting to go deeper. Take me Lord.

Read the review of Rob Bell’s book. If you need to read the book. I have decided that at least right now I don’t need to. This and number of other reviews are enough for me to know what I may or may not be missing.

Universalism as a Lure? The Emerging Case of Rob Bell

The Gospel is too precious and important to be commodified in this manner. The questions he asks are too important to leave so tantalizingly unanswered. Universalism is a heresy, not a lure to use in order to sell books. This much we know, almost a month before the book is to be released.

I read Albert Mohler whenever I get a chance. And I agree with the things he writes. I also find myself agreeing with Justin Taylor who has been so criticized over the last few days.

I am only quoting the last paragraph here but you feel free to follow the link to the website and the full piece.

I don’t believe that Justin Taylor and others jumped the gun in their assessment over the last few days. Nor I believe that this will be the end of the Church. In a strange way I actually think that this is good. The ‘unmasking’ of false teachers is always a good thing.

Now the question is … what will you do about it?
