@AdmiralCreedy The interview has been recorded.

It is astonishing that at the heart of the Christian message of good news lies a death. Of course this good news is only so because of the resurrection, as I argue in my book, but today lets remember the horror of the cross, and how that very shocking nature of the death of our Lord, compels us to pay attention: Mark Driscoll writes, The curious paradox of the atoning death of a bloody Jesus rising above the plane of...

@Quaerentia 1Cor 15 tells us that without the resurrection we'd still be dead in our sins. Could Jesus have saved us if he'd stayed dead? in reply to Quaerentia # @Quaerentia Twitter isn't great at conveying theological nuance. Hopefully the book is clearer. in reply to Quaerentia # @clock1300 yes I do. And yes I was very glad to speak with him in reply to clock1300 # RT @JayBeerley: I purchased "Raised With Christ" at #TGC11 It was the ONLY... Read more
I love this quote from a missionary and his response to well meaning discouragement from going to the field: Amongst many who sought to deter me, was one dear old Christian gentleman, whose crowning argument always was, “The Cannibals ! you will be eaten by Cannibals!” At last I replied, “Mr. Dickson, you are advanced in years now, and your own prospect is soon to be laid in the grave, there to be eaten by worms; I confess to you,...

Watch the whole video DOWNLOAD THE MP3 of this debate. Or you can stream online and get it via iTunes, or the Unbelievable? Podcast. Video will be available Tuesday. This Saturday, Premier’s Unbelievable with Justin Brierley will feature a pretty feisty extended debate between Rob Bell and I. He is known to be pretty slippery during interviews, but I did not want to let myself get frustrated so I resolved to be firm but fair. I think being in the... Read more

Once again Lloyd-Jones hits the nail on the head! Liberal ideas come and go, wax and wane in popularity but the gospel of Jesus Christ never fails! Surely we cannot accept . . . Universalistic ideas, because, if we do so, it means that we find ourselves contradicting the plain teaching of Scripture in those places where there is a clear division between the saved and the unsaved, the good and the bad, the redeemed and the lost. In spite... Read more
@almolx what did I miss? in reply to almolx # RT @emmabeanies: Rob Bell: the man who responds to a question with a story, a metaphor, a quote, a joke.

This week Rob Bell is in the UK and will be speaking at a number of evening events around the country. I trust many will see through his emotional appeals to the error that lies beneath. Rob argues in his book Love Wins that “No one can resist God’s pursuit forever because God’s love will eventually melt even the hardest hearts” (page 108). Yet elswhere he claims not to be a universalist. Therefore, to be fair to him and in the... Read more
