Some thoughts on Love Wins

The past few weeks or so I have been listening and reading what a lot of pastors are saying about Rob Bells new book Love Wins and I just want to let you know where I stand on this peace off work. First I want to say that over the years I have learned a lot from Rob Bell. I really think that the way he communicates is amazing. He can tell a story in ways that I could never. However, his theology and doctrine is so far out of wack it is not even funny. I have seen over the years Rob Bell fall further and further away from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now as this new book has come out He truly has become and false teacher. I known that there are people who would say that I am judging him by saying that but I am only looking at what he teaches and testing it to the Word of God and it does not line up.

We do not know if someone goes to hell or heaven. It is not for us to judge that but God is the Judge. There is a real place called Hell Jesus himself preached about it and called people sons of hell. If there was not a place of punishment then I would say that God is not a father at all. God as our father does not want to send people to hell but if someone does not believe in him then they are punished. It is just like a father when there son or daughter does not obey him he punishes them. To me the God of the bible ,who is the God I serve, would not be that God if everyone was welcomed into heaven. Then tell me what is the point of Jesus on the Cross and being or sacrifice for our sins. This would be pointless.

This week I will be preaching on how we as Christians need to test everything to God's word before we let it influence us and so I say church do not let this false teacher and his other gospel influence you.

Rob Bell I will be praying for you but as for me and my house you are not aloud in it anymore.

Not a Fan. BUT.

So if you know me at all then you know that I am not a huge fan of Rob Bell. When I was starting to get into reading books a few years back I liked some of Bell's thoughts. But now that I am more focused on the truth and doctrine of the bible I see somethings wrong with Bell but I also think we as preachers can learn form him as well. Even though he is pretty out there with his thoughts I feel that we need to look at the way he communicates. This dude is a beast in how he speaks.

I am only bringing this up to you to tell you that sometimes we need to sit back and stop thinking that we are great preachers and start thinking about what needs to get worked on. This past Sunday I said something in the sermon,that I still stand on and will always, but some people turned me off because of what I said. So Preachers check yourself before you wreck yourself is all I am saying. Not everyone is like Rob Bell or Mark Driscoll or John Piper so don't be like them but learn from them.
