The gods aren’t angry

God IS angry at sin. And the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Rob Bell is a false teacher who tickles the ears of modern, university educated people who sit in theatre seats with eager hearts to learn that they have discovered what primitive man never knew. That God does not care about their sins and transgressions, and they do not need to repent, but simply to understand a lie. Their God is but an idol that cannot do anything. Like a father who's children burned down the house while he was away on business, and when he returns he cannot punish them because in fact he is no more than a stone statue. Rob Bell's God is an idol.

I was able to attend Rob's lecture in Philadelphia. I did a review and would be interested in your thoughts.

Thank you for your summary! I took a group of 30 teenagers, all of whom have experienced the Nooma DVDs...I think parts of his presentation might have been a little difficult for them to understand so your summary will help me to help them apply it!

Bell is a great communicator, and I enjoyed "the god's aren't angry tour" in Denver a week ago. However, here is what I wonder, what happens now? This was simply one guy talking and then everyone leaving... Any insights on what the goal and hopes of the outcome of this tour is?... check out www.fromthefield.us

Beim, Yes, Bell is quite a communicator.

It was indeed fascinating as you suggest to watch his movement and they way he accentuate points working and speaking around the altar.

As a preacher I have a bit to learn from him!

We went to see Rob in Seattle last night. I was not only blown away by what he said, but how he uses space on the stage. At times I found myself watching how he moved...it was brilliant, encouraging, and freeing. Amazed how to get to the end he really had to retell The Story...reaffirms for me the importance of understanding the Bible as story.

Thanks for the nice summation of Rob's talk. He has responded to my email and I'll eventually post some more from our conversation.

thanks for the great notes!
