Whenever an epistle begins with “There was a time earlier on in my Christian life where I was quite the zealous little theology cop,” you have to know someone, of a differing Christian outlook, is going to get roasted.

Thanks for the beep!

The power is in the words of God, not the person or media conveying them. Indeed, a person could be completely wrong-headed and still serve God's purpose in saying something He wants said.

For instance, none of the following were 'after God's heart' but they still had a part to play:

Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his wonders! his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from generation to generation. – Daniel 4:1-3

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. – Acts 17:28

And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. – John 18:13-14

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. – Acts 5:38-39

To God be the glory, not man, never man.
