Brian has had enough....
My friend Brian has had about enough of people talking crap about John MacArthur.
Brian was in our college ministry when he was a senior. He later became my intern after he graduated from college while he was attending seminary at John MacArthur's The Master's Seminary.
Brian is a great guy and did a wonderful job mentoring many of the college guy's and overseeing many of the Bible studies. We definitely had some interesting talks over the last few years, and we often poke jokes at each other about one another's experiences at our respective seminaries (Fuller and Masters).
Brian finished up interning with me after the 2004-2005 school year and went on to plant Shoreline church.
Brian says some nice things about me in his post, but the reality is, is that we both learned a lot from each other. I think one of the things that we learned the most was the ability to work together even though we had some differences theologically, ministerially, etc. I think it was a process that refined both of us in many ways.
I have been known to do my fair share of pointing out some things I disagree with MacArthur over as well. But I am learning more than ever that if we are going to really change the cities and communities that we find ourselves in, it's going to take more than us just staying in our own little cozy, theological camps. We are going to need to come out and work together across denominational and theological lines.
And even though Brian and I have headed different directions and have different ideas, I know that we still have the ability to come together and work together on some very important things.
