Southeastern Theological Seminary President Danny Akin on Mark Driscoll: I appreciate Mark Driscoll and Acts 29. Southeastern has no formal relationship with either, but I am thankful for many aspects of both ministries. I think there is much that our students can learn from them. Mark and I have become good friends, but I doContinue reading “Danny Akin’s Comments on Mark Driscoll”

The Driscoll Debate: iMonk vs Turk, Part 2
UPDATE: Justin D. Barnard at Mere Comments has a much more useful and on point critique of Driscoll here. First of all, let me thank Frank for the opportunity to have a good discussion about the issue of pastoral accountability in the internet age (a very important topic) and for having such a constructive andContinue reading “The Driscoll Debate: iMonk vs Turk, Part 2”
Centuri0n Vs iMonk: On Driscoll’s Need To Repent
Frank Turk and I have been tossing the Mark Driscoll guilt/repentance issue back and forth a bit. So we decided to both post on the subject and link the other fellow’s post. Then you can argue in the comments. Here’s Frank’s take on the matter. Expect uproarious applause. Trust me that Frank is serious aboutContinue reading “Centuri0n Vs iMonk: On Driscoll’s Need To Repent”
Mentors: James Baker Hall 1935-2009
Someone significant died yesterday. At least for writers, poets and artists in Kentucky. James Baker Hall. Poet. Artist. Writer. Teacher. Mentor. Former Poet Laureate of Kentucky, 2001-2003. Hall has been an inspiration to generations of Kentucky writers and poets. He’s had a deep influence on my son, Clay. I know that the passing of mentorsContinue reading “Mentors: James Baker Hall 1935-2009”
Why Mark Driscoll Shouldn’t Bug Ya
UPDATE: In addition to criticizing Driscoll for his nutty exegesis of Song of Solomon and his less than impressive analysis of The Shack, I’ve backed up Pastor Mark before. It became painfully/strangely/humorously obvious at this week’s SBC meeting that a lot of people are worried about Mark Driscoll. I’d like to suggest a brief programContinue reading “Why Mark Driscoll Shouldn’t Bug Ya”
My Thoughts on Today’s Southern Baptist Convention Meeting 6:23:09
1. Those of you who have various versions of autocratic church governments that never give the ordinary hoi polloi the microphone may look down your noses at allowing people to make motions to ban books, adopt flags and boycott Pepsi, but our circus has a lot to commend it over your imitation of the Vatican.Continue reading “My Thoughts on Today’s Southern Baptist Convention Meeting 6:23:09”
A Person Not A Label
UPDATE: The comments on this post are closed. If they are opened again, I will only publish DIRECT responses to the post. Speeches about specific sexual sins and how much we need to shout about them will not be published. I am embarassed by a good bit of what is on here now, but itContinue reading “A Person Not A Label”
Thoughts and Questions for Parents On Father’s Day
It’s Father’s Day weekend, one of the Hallmark calendar days, but worth at least some thoughtful consideration. I shared of few memories of my dad on Podcast #145. In this post I’d like to be a bit less reflective and a lot more meddling. I’ve worked around parents of teenagers my entire adult life. ForContinue reading “Thoughts and Questions for Parents On Father’s Day”
A Blogosphere Reality Check
Just a quick note to all of you regular IM readers. I’m in the thick of writing a book. Approximately 20 chapters in this project, and I’m about 6 in at this point. Deadline is late October, but here’s the kicker. My book has to be 80% material never appearing elsewhere. In other words, noContinue reading “A Blogosphere Reality Check”
On Teaching Edwards’ “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God”
A tough day at the office today, the office being teaching remedial English III to a small class of kids who failed it. A couple are new and one is not happy- at all- to be in school this summer. So I’m earning the big bucks like a real teacher this week. My fan clubContinue reading “On Teaching Edwards’ “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God””
