I hope you can follow this post

(Accidentally posted this on my football blog before realizing my mistake!)
I just wrote on facebook that I'm not as smitten with Donald Miller (author of Blue Like Jazz and other best-sellers) as many young Christians are. Here's part of the reason why.

Mark Driscoll's 3 most recent tweets:
1. Is Jesus God or Man? #Basictraining. http://bit.ly/Jesus_God_or_Man http://bit.ly/1JwN75
2. Worship = Adoration +Action. #Basictraining. http://bit.ly/Wrshp_Adoratn_Actn http://bit.ly/3prgw4
3. How to organize a day of silence & solitude. Part 1 http://bit.ly/rOcUS http://bit.ly/2k1mAN

Stuff Christians Like blogger Jon Acuff's 3 most recent tweets:
1.Two words we all start with but lose along the way. New SCL http://bit.ly/1VeX02
2. "You removed my sackcloth & clothed me with joy." God won't replace old clothes with slightly better. He gives new life not upgrades. P30:11
3. It's interesting that twitter scams focus on 2 insecurities. Vanity (Is this you on this?) and intelligence (take this quiz)

John Piper's 3 most recent tweets:
1. Why God withholds (and shows) wrath: "I acted for the sake of my name that it should not be profaned" (Ezek 20:9; Ex 14:17f).
2. Born today 1615, Richard Baxter: "In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity."
3. Don't even try. "If one wished to contend with God, one could not answer him once in a thousand times" (Job 9:3).

Donald Miller's most recent tweet:
Watching Bill Gates on csnbc. Wish the pc was a superior computer because bill gates is a better human being than steve jobbs.

Question for you, Mr. Miller: Have you ever met either of these men? What makes one a "better human being" than the other? Since you're the judge, how do I stack up to these guys? You can probably find a youtube video with me in it somewhere, so take a look and get back to me. Thanks.

  1. Maybe Donald Miller was being tongue-in-cheek when he said that about Gates?
