A tale of two passions
21st April 2005
Recently I came across a passionate post by Tim Challies of Challies.com bemoaning the fact that he read an impressive review of Brian McLaren’s A Generous Orthodoxy, but wished he had wrote it himself. What captivated Challies was that the author of the review, Bob DeWaay, "showed in many ways McLaren is the fulfillment of Schaeffer’s prophetic voice."
The post champions what he regards as the prophetic vision of Shaeffer in the sense that he had insight about the future, trends and especially about movements that distorts the doctrinal purity so cherished by those who regard Reformed Theology as the pinnacle of theological knowledge.
I actually was watching Hotel Rwanda on DVD while I was surfing the web on my laptop. Hotel Rwanda is a movie I really wanted to watch after reading a post recommending it to all Christians. At the time I read this post, I was impressed by its eloquence and the urgency of its tone and the obvious passion with which the message was delivered.
