Are you familiar with the Seattle pastor, Mark Driscoll? If you are not, chances are you soon will be.
I was browsing iTunes the other day, looking at the nations most popular podcasts, and among the likes of ABC news, ESPN, and ‘Christian’ heavyweights Joel Osteen and TD Jakes, I noticed that Driscoll’s podcast was right […]

I enjoyed the video below by John Piper (thanks to purgatorio, again). Check out below and then see a few of my follow-up comments:

If we could pinpoint the precise point where the modern church has erred and has thus flirted with completely abandoning the gospel of Jesus Christ, where would that point be?
