Post-modern evangelism

In post-modern evangelism, the attempt is made not to offend anyone, contrary to the real gospel which in itself is offensive to the world (Rom 9:33).

Emerging bloopers

Rob Bell, from the emergsoever crowd, made a basic neophyte New Testament Greek blooper by ascribing a "technical" but temporary nature to the Greek aorist tense. Of course, he is mistaken here, like in so many other cases.

Phil Johnson reviews "Why We're Not Emergent"

Well, here is a book I am going to buy! After reading Phil Johnson's review of Kevin DeYoung's and Ted Kluck's Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be, (available at Amazon and Kalahari), I will be getting this one.

Here is a short excerpt:
"In fact, I think I said wow at least once in every chapter of this book. No matter how little or how much you know about postmodernism and the emerging church, you will find this book informative and thought-provoking. I'm pretty sure I have read more material on both sides of this issue and spent more hours thinking critically about it than the average evangelical lay person. But I found myself repeatedly being challenged with new facts, fresh ideas, and arguments I hadn't considered before. I gained a clearer perspective even on some of the very aspects of Emergent thought that are most familiar to me.

"The book rings all the right notes, at just the right tempo."

C.J. Mahaney and a pastor's task of discernment

C.J. Mahaney of Sovereign Grace Ministries has written a blog post on how he approaches the issue of erroneous teaching in the church today. It would be prudent for each pastor to heed Mahaney's careful approach to protect the flock from all the errors that are being taught today. He especially mentions Rob Bell of NOOMA fame infamy. You can read about C.J.'s heart on this matter here.

C.J. makes special mention of Greg Gilbert's review of Rob Bell's NOOMA videos. If you are interested in the emergent perversion of the gospel, you will do well to read Gilbert's review, which comes in three parts.
