From Christianity Today: What Leaders Can Learn from Rob Bell

Incidentally, the reason my notes from Rob's sermons have stopped is that Rob is on sabbatical from teaching, though they're having a great list of guest speakers during that time. So that will pick back up once he's back in the pulpit.

Steve Carter's message, Out of Egypt from a few weeks ago is definitely worth a listen as a primer on the Jesus is the new Moses line of thought. He's on our list of folks to look into for future Encounter weekends in Gatlinburg.

Great quote from that article:

I suspect that Bell frequently rouses two useless responses among church leaders. Some will sit on the sidelines, buy his stuff, marvel at his ability, and applaud his efforts. Others will sit in the peanut gallery, heckle his success, and condemn him for what they deem poor theology or inappropriate this or that. I'd encourage church leaders to find a third response: learn what we can from Rob Bell, then get off our keisters and do something. After all, perhaps the best lesson from Bell is that he's attempting something for the kingdom.
