Yes Henry, yes! Thank you for looking at this through God’s eyes. Too often I am guilty of thinking, if not saying, something derogatory when I see someone that doesn’t MY view of normal.

John – The problem with most Christians when they see a “goth” in the mall is not that “something is wrong” as you say. Most, and I mean most, Christian parents will turn to their children and say something derogatory about them simply because of their outward appearance. And they would never think of praying and/or approaching them in love.

Some of the goth girls have been abused. Some of those blue mohawk guys have no father. That goth girl and that mohawk guy were in Jesus’ heart and mind while on the cross. Changing the heart is the mission of the Holy Spirit, changing the outward appearance is…uh…mmm…oh yea, HIS TOO!!

OK, so I go to look at Slice to see the comments on the video, and what do I see, but everybody's favorite seer of man's heart and envoy of God, Steve Camp, is now writing for Slice. Not that he doesn't fit the site like a glove, but when did that happen?

Well, it was a nice dream, but Ingrid came back not long after her initial post and confirmed that she is against non-standard clothing as a sign of an unrepentant heart.

She argued that “goth” is not a neutral style of dress and that a blue mohawk is a sign of rebellion. Fair enough. If I see a goth person on the street, I suspect something is wrong too. But how does that apply to Driscoll? We’re not guessing at his beliefs. He’s stated them and they’re completely orthodox. So what’s wrong with him and what he was wearing and saying?

Style always trums substance at Slice. It’s sad.

It’s possibly he finally realized that “missive” has a negative connotation… I always found it funny…

Has anyone else noticed that Ken is no longer calling them missives? I don’t remember if it was here or at Verum Serum that his use of that name was mentioned, but I’ve not seen him call any of his new posts a “missive” in quite some time.

I'm surprised, too. I wonder if Ken would leave Slice if Ingrid decided to endorse him? (OK, it's Friday, so wishful thinking abounds.) On a related note, Ken decided to publish yet another hit piece on Rob Bell today using (you guessed it) no original content other than a GBA letter from some guy in Tennessee. He even gets in an inaccurate shot at Bell's current sermon series.
