Repent and believe in the gospel!

"Most people lack true repentance. They lack the true contrition, the true brokenness. They are void of urgent desperation. They don't have a true relationship to Jesus Christ. They just "hang around" Jesus... And they do not know what it means to bow to that which is eternal. To be concerned about that. They want a gospel that doesn't ask for repentance. They want a gospel that has no threats. They want a gospel that allows them to have some superficial attachment to Jesus, but not a bowing to His absolute sovereignty at any cost. They want a gospel that fixes them in this world to make them more comfortable. That's not it. And that's not what Jesus offers."
John MacArthur

The Emerging Church (the ultimate post)

Below I've posted a couple clips of Mark Driscoll explaining the different emerging lanes. These are the different as he calls them the lanes or highways in the emergent church. He was originally associated with the fourth stream that he talks about with Rob Bell and Brian McLaren. His envolment started before the Terra nova project. I also saw a presentation by Jason Carlson. If I remember correctly, Jason Carlson was actually a student of Doug Pagitt. Doug Pagitt was basically his youth pastor I believe and Doug Pagitt decided to start Solomon's porch and Jason Carlson tells a similar story to Mark Driscoll, where they started realize some of the underpinnings of this movement that this fourth emergent lane where people were questioning, certain Biblical doctrines we would normally consider absolutes in Christendom. Mark Driscoll goes on to explain this in these video clips. I would like to find some of the videos from Jason, I actually have a presentation on DVD from a worldview weekend conferences. But I'm pretty sure that will violate some type of copyright infringement.







just to give you a little insight into some of the people in the emergent church here is an interview that Todd Friel of Way of the Master radio did with the Doug Pagitt.

Doug I don't see your name misspelled in the article. Let me know where you see the misspelling and I will change it.

Just out of curiosity how did you stumble across my blog? I assume you did a search on your name..... just curious.

Have a good day!
