I like Tim Keller. I appreciate his teachings. I believe he played a very important part of evangelizing a part of American society that is often ignored by many in the fundamentalist and evangelical communities; highly educated professionals and liberals. They also need to hear the gospel.

You bring tears to my eyes for those very sermons admonishing everyone about husband idols, wife idols, children idols, family idols, work idols, and so forth were preached from our church's pulpit as recent as 5 months ago. We have met the enemy and he is us. Maranatha!

Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers" 1 Tim. 4:16 🙏🏽
@jparkerwillis how very ‘woke’ of you…Keller lost all credibility when he began pandering to the SJW’s…his ‘The Reason for God’ is a decent introduction to apologetics, but doesn’t hold a candle to Lewis’ ‘Mere Christianity’ or Wilson’s ‘Mere Fundamentalism’…
@@patriagirl7674 Social Justice Warriors…Keller’s book ‘Generous Justice: How God’s Grace makes Us Just’ , while making some good and obvious points, leans toward the sjw movement, rather than away from it… ‘Justice’ is an attribute of God, there is no need to preface it (the word justice) with an adjective…once that is done, the word no longer means what it means when relating to God…imo
I only knew of David French as the gaslighting liar from National Review. Since he works for NR I assumed he was Catholic and/or Trotskyite, I had no idea he was considered an evangelical leader.
We need more true watchmen on the wall. We need reformation and repentance among God’s people. Those lackluster leaders need to graciously admit the wrong they have caused primarily through the sin of omission in their preaching, exhortation and writing. Awake!
This is SO spot on. I just discovered Doug and am hooked. He is saying exactly what I've always thought but couldn't articulate. I could never figure out what bugs me about Keller, Piper, at al, but Doug has articulated it well. They eagerly latch onto any progressive peeve that they find Biblical warrant to condemn but ignore overt sins that are at crisis levels bc THOSE would put them in the progressive crosshairs
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the LORD Almighty."-2nd Corinthians 6:17-18
I have, though not a religious scholar, stood sentry all my life, and I have been hammering the bell, although ignored and ridiculed for my "silly panic" all my life. Well, I am now at odds, at war, and in a position of Orthodox dedication as laid down and formed up by the Apostles. I include temporal combat to the spiritual war, as I see it, "in spirit and in truth" applies to my 'hill to die on'.
It gives me great peace when I see what GOD can do with broken vessels, their is a great purge coming in our LORDS church and it is long overdue!!! GOD bless all CHRISTS soldiers!!!
Yes and Amen. May those who understand and feel the force of this true message pray. Maybe it's time for guys to the right to repent and admit that they have not had the discernment or fortitude to lead.
I love this. Friends and I talk about this sort of failure by our christian leaders a lot. We all have some sort of plans to do our part in the coming years.
Something I was learning today involved the term for bishop/overseer/elder in Titus and 1 Timothy. It seems to be a compound word that denotes the role of a watchman. Can someone more learned confirm?
".. Who would have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth." Always love it when a Calvinist quotes scripture that skewers Calvinism.
My goodness I love this man! His life in heaven is gonna be a little miserable because I am gonna follow him around yapping his head off every chance I get! Genius! Saint! Most importantly, a leader we need!
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning...
I think you are very kind to say some of the intellectual religious leaders are the nice guys that didn't see what was going on instead of infiltrators. But when you see the situation with the Southern Baptist Convention, you see the situation with the Modernist Catholics, the situation with the Anglicans, the situation with Mega Church leaders, the situation with Big Eva, you see the men get on stage in front of Congress and give a prayer to the Hindu God I can't help but to see a pattern. And it isn't one of nice guys that couldn't see. It's a pattern of those who share the same exact ideas of marriage and women with authority. And many of them share a pattern either ignoring or encouraging brotherhood of all men and religions. Or ensuring that non Christians lead over Christians and work against Christians having power and authority. And it begins to look like they belong to the same organization. One that doesn't really follow Christ but at the lowest levels invites Christians to betray Jesus Christ...for a lot more than 30 pieces of silver.
Don't forget the situation with the United Methodist Church. I am so glad neither my Father nor my Great Grandmother are on this earth any longer to see it. As faithful Methodists they would be heartbroken.
The one area I find myself disagreeing with Doug on is characterizing men like Keller, Moore, Matthew Hall as "the good guys" or the "nice guys who chumps but bring hot cocoa" like in his first illustration. Those guys he mentioned-- those guys are no bueno. Maybe 5 years ago when I didn't know better, I would've said Keller and Mohler were good guys - but now I know what they really believe, and not just what others around me told me to admire in them as "helpful" A lot of what he says is very much spot on. They warn us of fake issues or non-issues, they run around being busy-bodies, and we should be praying for good reformation and for us to endure the mess ahead. Continuing to advance the kingdom.
I’m quite ignorant of Mohler and what has developed. I know he’s a centrist and won’t speak out against those who have an errant theology, have his theological views gone awry as well?
Big Eva = The Sphinx from Mystery Men. Christian Mesmerists... I'm excited about all the progs and libs that'll be open to hearing The Gospel with their world getting turned upside down. ;-)
Stephen, I see no one answered your question. The only thing I can add is from a former elder I knew years ago. He ‘had concerns’ about Keller because of something Keller said about evolution. Ok, whatever.
@@stephenr2197 to them it's as if the only parts of the bible that are true is when Jesus said love one another... and you're in some cult if you believe anything else it says really happened. Just stories and poetry that we're reading too much into.
At the risk of appearing to be a grammar idolater, I wanted to point out "GOLINESS" in the 1Timothy quote and also "FASIONS" in the Screwtape quote. ;-)
I didn't want to be the guy to point out a typo but @7:13-37: "...peaceable life in all goliness". Although "Golly" might be an apt expression for those who were plugging their ears when the bell was ringing.
Didn't know Al Mohler were "a problem". Came to know him becuase of Ligonier conferencies and because of people like John Macarthur, R C Sproul and others I though he was fine. What is the situation about him? (I'm not form US)
Oh man! Where to start. First, I was very much influenced, in a positive way, by Al Mohler (I've read his books, listened to his Briefing, and some of his teaching/preaching). I believe I've grown in my faith because of him, but- there's been a lot going on and I no longer listen to Al Mohler. One thing is his lack of vigilance on things like Resolution 9 in the SBC, along with him firing/letting a number of conservative Christian professors and hiring of many leftist professors, among many other things. Here's a helpful video (this guy, has lots of insightful commentary on current events). I hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/nEX1QPJrXbw/видео.html
I like this straight and sober talk. I don't know these people named I guess because I don't go to those evangelical Churches. All I know is that the day I received Christ as Lord and followed Christ was the same say I received the Acts Chapter 2 package, including supernatural healing. The greatest thing on that day was His unsurpassing peace; but even greater, was the words inscribed on the inside of the Bible gifted to me that day quoting Hebrews 4:12. It was that day, 31 years ago, that I knew I had the greatest power in the world in my hands - God's word! And nothing has ever been able to dimish its value, worth or power. I can only add to that: the deaf hear, the lame walk, and the blind see. Praise God.
The video is perfectly on the mark except for the assertion that the men whom he names are good men. I guess we can't take it for granted that he would say the exact same thing at this point in time.
If they are, then they're asleep. Another problem is, much of the flock would rather "let sleeping dogs lie" because it's too judgmental and hateful and outright rude to wake them up.
The world is full of lies. Our only business is to see heaven and our completed salvation in the light of the word and the word in the light pf this gospel.
