Well over the last few days i've been thinking about an issue that has been pretty heated in the last couple of days. It's funny first of all that so much anger and emotion is poured into this argument. I think that it is funny that we put so much energy and effort into finding the right way with God instead of ministering to people and doing the very thing that we argue about. McArthur wants to point out problems, Driscoll wants to be immersed in culture. Its just funny that there is so much time being taken away from their own ministries to point out the failures in each others. As you know im a mktg. guy and am into business and advertising. Its sort of like the old argument that is involved in marketing. Do we as a company create an image of our product as having a high quality and not delving into "cheap little tricks" done by those other companies to trick consumers into buying our product or do we charge a very low price and increase our market share because those "nose in the air guys" are afraid to sell their super expensive products to everyone because of how people might see them. The problem with both is this there is no right way. If you look at Jesus life he did many different things to reach people from putting his hands into the mud spitting on them and restoring sight, to disciplining disciples to keep the focus on the Father. Do i have a side that i sit on when it comes to this issue? I don't know yet to be honest. I'm still young and God has not shown me how to minister to people in my own way. I know one thing however sanctification is important. Leading others to Christ is important. Honoring God is important. Why must we further split and give lost people a reason not to seek God? Why must all this effort be poured into conflict instead of ministry? I pray that we get things straight and whatever the answer might be that God would be pleased with our efforts and lives. I'm out.
