Our generation's imbalanced view of God cannot be corrected by an equal imbalance in the opposite direction, a very real danger in some circles. I'm deeply concerned about a growing trend I've noticed-particularly among people committed to the biblical truth of God's sovereignty and divine election. Some of them flatly deny that God in any sense loves those whom He has not chosen for salvation. I am troubled by the tendency of some-often young people newly infatuated with Reformed doctrine-who insist that God cannot possibly love those who never repent and believe. I encounter that view, it seems, with increasing frequency.

He took a shot at reformed believers that was unnecessary and served no purpose but to please the likes of those that want to say or imply that we have a misplace zeal.

That was self serving and mac deserves to have it pointed out it did not escape our notice

OR...he was simply using an example to illustrate how one can take the opposite of the "evangelical" view too far by drawing unnecessary conclusions.

Self-serving? Because it was a valid example of the point he was making? I think you are being way too quick to assume motives and pass a rather harsh judgement on him.
