I was just reading an article last night about how a guy named Mark Coppenger of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary did a whole sermon ripping apart Donald Miller (author of Blue Like Jazz) basically for being too liberal for a Christian. I was thinking, this is the problem with Christianity. We can't spread a gospel of love when we hate amongst each other. It doesn't work. People can see through hypocrisy. Miller's book is about his personal journey. It reads somewhat like a personal journal- not some bold theological statement. Coppenger comes off as a guy who just wanted to pick a fight. In my opinion there is no place for this within the body of Christ. We can agree to disagree, but public bashing of another believer is shameful and uncalled for.
