Leeman Rules

by Thabiti Anyabwile

Okay... new rule....  A comment in response to a post cannot be longer and more involved than the original post.  I don't know... let's call it the Leeman rule :-).

Mike, you're the funniest man in the blogosphere--hands down!  Love the caveman pastor.

But at lease one person leaving a comment raised a critique that I've often thought as well.  It seems that many folks/churches who oppose "making the gospel public" in favor (legitimately) of keeping a solid focus on the message of the gospel itself end up not following the gospel to its social implications.  So, protecting the gospel turns into neglecting the implications of the gospel... as though calling certain things "implications" makes those things optional... like a sunroof or rear seat dvd players for the kids.

How would you brothers respond to that critique?
