Should I Listen to Emergent Church Types?

Facebook.com top question: Is there a thin line between listening to - and sifting through - the truth from guys such as McLaren and Bell - and just not listening to them at all?

Pastor Mark Driscoll answers this question as part of a live "Ask Anything" session in which audience members SMS questions to the pulpit to be answered in real time.

This question was answered in the broader context of a sermon entitled "Emerging Church" which can be found at http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/religionsaves/emerging-church

I love it when people like Mark driscoll say it like it is. We need more christians who are not afraid to say what is right and what is wrong. We need bold preachers! Thanks Mark! Stop trying to fit God into your own lifestyle, He is God, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

@3VOLution3NO what you are saying is ridiculous

[teachercath]

@DieMaskerMeisie Well, I believe he is far to be the only on this area. The fact they are not out there with a camera on them does not mean they don't exist.

emergent church is demonic inspired. satan has no doubt, taken ahold of all major churches and uniting all world religions. it is known as Ecumenism.

Didn't Driscoll go nuts about the Shack creating a "graven image" of God? What's with the DJ Jesus on his shirt?

Good for you Mark for "NOT" supporting Bell or Maclaren

I love the trendy clothes that Mark wears. It makes him look very cool and relevant. Especially the cool t-shirt of Jesus. I am sure that he feels awesome and accepted wearing it. Go name-brand Mark.  It's a great way to get sponsors from companies to get free clothes. It's like race car drivers. Get as many sponsors on your 'car'. Go bro. Get accepted by the masses.

the Bible is the filter. If it doesn't match then then pitch it in idea. but acknowledge that you will meet people who will think that way.

[theomathetes21]

Very well-said. Every Christian's first reading priority should be the Bible cover-to-cover. In other words, it's first on your stack. Not that all other books are unread until you finish the Bible, but if this book is in totality God's Word, we need to know what it all says.
