What do you see as the greatest challenge for young Christians in the next 10 years?

This is either the most frightening or the most hilarious response I’ve read to the question, “What do you see as the greatest challenge for young Christians in the next 10 years?”:

Mark Driscoll: There is a strong drift toward the hard theological left. Some emergent types [want] to recast Jesus as a limp-wrist hippie in a dress with a lot of product in His hair, who drank decaf and made pithy Zen statements about life while shopping for the perfect pair of shoes. In Revelation, Jesus is a pride fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His hand and the commitment to make someone bleed. That is a guy I can worship. I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up. I fear some are becoming more cultural than Christian, and without a big Jesus who has authority and hates sin as revealed in the Bible, we will have less and less Christians, and more and more confused, spiritually self-righteous blogger critics of Christianity.

  1. I’m stunned by so much of this I don’t even know where to begin. Although, I do agree with his last clause…

  2. “Pride” fighter. Yes, that is what we all need. More pride.
    When you start beating up members of you church, what will it take for someone to yell “Stop!”
