CRN.Info and Analysis

This just in, the anonymous coward known only as “editor” has declared that C?N and other watchdoggie outlets to be 100% Christ free. Check it out here.

What’s that you say? You saw nothing of the sort? The problem is that you’re not thinking like a watchdoggie. As we’ve learned in the past merely footnoting a heretic means you agree with that person completely. So I figure if a footnote means you agree completely then posting a video of someone has to mean you’re their disciple, and since Taylor Mali’s mission is education we can only assume that C?N has abandoned Christ is favor of education.

Of course I’m being a bit silly to show how ridiculous the guilt by association arguments the watchdoggies make are. But there was at least one serious point that can be taken from the anonymous coward’s post: C?N has no clue what the e/e churches are all about.

I was thinking alot yesterday (which is why I have a splitting headache today).  The ODMs use the words “false teacher” alot.  So, I though to myself, “what makes someone a false teacher?”  Does everything they teach have to be false?  Or just the essentials?  What if 10/16th of what they teach is true, are they a 6/16th false teacher?  What if everything they taught was true, but they only gave half of the whole story.

So then I thought more about how ambiguous “false teacher” really is.  I mean, even those who the ODMs claim to be just that are usually not completely false.  So there has to be some good to be acknowledged in even the most undiscerning of ministries.  Anyhow… he was my thought after all my thinking… A CHALLENGE

A CHALLENGE TO THE ODMs

We know you read the stuff here, so don’t pretend like you didn’t see this.  Write an article about the good/truth that has come from the emerging / SS / Purpose Driven movement.  If you are truly discerning, you will be able to see some good that these movements have brought to the church.  One parameter:  no negative talk in the whol piece.  No “that’s all good good…but”, no name calling, no interjections, no links to other discernment posts.  It has to be simply a post on the good that has come from these movements.  I think this will truly show how discerning many of you are

A CHALLENGE TO CRN.info

Write comments here about the good that has come from ODMs.  If we are people who want justice and mercy, then we should see some truth and goodness from these guys and gals.  Same parameters.  No negative side-talk.  Let’s see if we really are full of justice and mercy.
