One of the things I love most about his writing is his style. Almost like slam poetry.

right, the church he came from is a local megachurch in Grand Rapids.

also, his church is primarily the 35-and-under crowd, almost exclusively white. not sure what happens when one ages out of that demographic.

John, I think it's time for a "Stuff Christians Like" post along the lines of "Posting About Rob Bell On Your Blog So You Can Get A Bazillion Comments And Romp On Google"

…or something like that

And just 'cause you asked, I would ask him, "Rob, if not preaching the Gospel clearly, then what do you perceive your primary mission as a pastor to be? Why is that more important than preaching the Gospel clearly?"

I would want to ask Rob Bell why he puts more importance on making Christians/Christianity "look good" to nonbelievers than preaching the Truth of the gospel (see NOOMA's "Bullhorn guy" video). The truth is, the gospel is offensive to people who don't know Christ. The Bible tells us that. No one wants to be confronted with their sin. And the gospel is nothing without a knowledge and confession of one's sin. Those who don't know Christ as Savior and Lord are going to hell for all of eternity. This is serious, yet Rob Bell (in this video) puts down all the Christians out there who are boldly proclaiming this message to the world. He says they need to stop because it's making Christians "look bad." He is actually, unbelievably, discouraging Christians from telling people they are sinners. HELLO! WE ARE ALL SINNERS! The truth is, the "bullhorn guy" in the NOOMA video is not just those literally with bullhorns on street corners, it's representing anyone who is willing to sacrifice their own image to speak Truth to a world that's dying, rotting, and in need of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, Mr. Bell is a false shepherd leading way too many people in the wrong direction. Flee from his teaching. It's not the gospel…it's "emergent" and very, very unbiblical.
