This is an excellent presentation of the debate between John MacArthur and James Dobson on the issue of preaching the Gospel to change the wickedness of man versus using political legislation to accomplish that end.
My husband describes the continuum between the two men and their two philosophies as a sort of "echo chamber" that is also present within each one of us individually. I know this first-hand; I, too, bounce back and forth between the spiritual logic of "being in the world" and the spiritual danger of "being of the world."
I respect Dr. Dobson highly, and appreciate and contribute to his ministry. John MacArthur has the Truth on his side in the end however, because the path of the Focus on the Family ministry has evidently led to compromise.
