Great Minds Think Alike
Part One
The Warnock discussion of the simple gospel continues with gusto. Yesterday, Adrian pointed us to a post by Patriot Paradox using the John 3:16 as the simple gospel.
At around the same time, Joe at Evangelical Outpost posted the same thing.
I'm still backing Jollyblogger's point that JESUS is the gospel. After that it is all just a discussion of how we tell people about Him.
Part Two
Both Adrain and DrAJ at SmartChristian post on Bruce McLaren's new book "A Generous Orthodoxy" yesterday. Having not read the book, I don't have a lot to say, but I find it interesting that both Adrian and Dr. AJ point out that McLaren seems to have been so generous in his 'orthodoxy' that it is not really an orthodoxy at all. Such a thought makes me fear for the future of the church.
