I am critical of many aspects of Mark Driscoll and his ministry, as those who follow my blog will know. Yet, I have nothing against him as a person, and indeed sometimes Driscoll does give rather good answers to various questions.
In this video, Driscoll gave an excellent answer regarding the reading of various Christian and "Christian" books. Christians should not be getting all the latest Christian books in a quest to "broaden your mind". Understand your Bible and sound doctrine first and foremost, looking for sound orthodox books to complement your spiritual diet. ONLY if you are called to teach and minister to others should you read other books for research purposes, and that only.

This is my blog, and in order to facilitate an edifying exchange, I have came up with various blog rules. Please do read them before commenting, as failure to abide by them would make your post liable to being unapproved for publication. Violation of any of the rules three or more times, or at the blog owner's judgment, would make one liable to be banned from posting unless the blog owner (me) is satisfied that such behavior would not occur again.
