Rob Bell Critiques His Critics http://www.apprising.org/archives/2008/03/rob_bell_critiq.html
Doesn't matter if they're angry and mean, Rob... are they right? (YES!)
who’s on venus?
can’t stand him! He is part of the emergent conversation movement and I won’t listen to anything he has to say.
Went to the Mars Hill site and found this almost immediately.
“Most of us have been given great wealth, talent and energy. And God wants us to share it with others who don’t have enough.”

***”I spent days in the woods just staring at trees,” he says. “It began deep in my soul — that I had nothing to prove. I had to die to the need to achieve and impress.”***
I think he would have been better off on his knees in prayer to God, but...?
And this took months to write????
I read his ‘Velvet Elvis’ book. He has some good insights on Jewish rabinical tradition, and when you plug in some of the events of the Gospels, some interesting perspectives emerge. Pretty neat book- but I still won’t go to a church with any kind of full-time hierachy.
Just don’t confuse Rob Bell’s Mars Hill Church with MArk Driscoll’s. They are VERY different.
