May 4th - Rob Bell - A wolf in Sheep's clothing?
(Quote one from: Velvet Elvis: Repainting The Christian Faith, p.067,068, quote two from Velvet Elvis, p.065, quote three from Velvet Elvis, p.148)
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV)
I have to admit that this has been a difficult week for me. I first began to hear about some of Bell's teachings while on the mission trip to Mexico. One of the kids had been challenged to read one of Bell's books and was reading it on the trip. Then on April 25th I found this waiting for me in the mailbox:
As I read the magazine article I couldn't believe what I was reading. The author of the article, Jon Meacham, made some very good points although he himself does not believe in the inerrancy of the scriptures. I have included one of his points in my PowerPoint presentation which is linked below.
I have included a short 3 min YouTube clip of Bell promoting his new book, Love Wins, so you can here in his own words what the book is about. The second YouTube clip in the presentation is from MSNBC and is an interview with Martin Bashir who does an excellent job keeping Bell honest about his message. The last clip is a presentation of the Gospel that I thought was particularly well done.
As you view this presentation my entire point is: "To reveal the message Rob Bell is promoting from a Biblical viewpoint." I can not say this loudly enough, Rob Bell does not promote a Christian message!
Lady Gaga has a very obvious message and I see her as a "wolf in wolf's clothing". Rob Bell is something else entirely!
Enjoy!
