Have you seen the Nooma videos? They are hip, but are they helpful? They are cool, but are they correct? They are trendy, but are they true?
Shepherds at heart are always on the alert for danger and there is nothing as dangerous as spiritual danger. The virgin birth matters. The authority of Scripture matters. A right understanding of the atonement matters. A clear undersatnding and presentation of the Gospel matters. Truth matters. Truth must trump style. For those of you who have an interest in truth and discernment here are some thoughtful reviews.
I thought this post on a Rob Bell event was noteworthy too.
If you like audio, here is an interesting interview by a couple discerning men. John MacArthur’s comments about his book Truth War is about a third of the way into the program.
amen and amen!
Ken,
Read sections of Velvet Elvis and viewed the Nooma Dust video. The chapter entitled “Dust” is especially disturbing. In my opinion, teaching that God has faith in man is just another man centered gospel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

P.S. I recently left some thoughts for you on one of your previous posts entitled, “Worldly Churches.” I’m curious if you were aware of the materials presented by MacArthur – “Does the Truth Matter Anymore.”
