"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." - Ephesians 5:11Shepherds of the flock of God need to feed the flock that is entrusted to them with the Word of God, both accurately and completely.

Now, for the past few days, at the Grace to You blog, MacArthur has been critiquing Rob Bell's theology. It is some of the most hard-hitting and theologically sound criticism I've read to date.

Rob Bell: “Evangelical and orthodox to the bone?” Hardly.
Bell’s Inferno
