"Mark Driscoll on Joel Osteen: 'There Are Worse Things Than Being Happy and Encouraging'"Yes!!
Like heresy and deceit!!
The point is to be able to tell the difference and have the grace to proclaim the truth.
It would appear that like Mr Osteen, Mr Driscoll can't see the difference or the truth.
Human happiness and from such emotions 'encouragment' - do not direct people to salvation.
Matt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
