Mark Driscoll on Nightline sat down for the half-hour interview, and drove around Seattle with Terry Moran.
Driscoll sought to make the following points, according to Justin Taylor.
- Idols take. Jesus gives.
- Idols destroy life. Jesus gives new life.
- Idols break apart people and relationships. Jesus redeems and heals
Here is the video.
As we study 1 John, please note the last verse -5:21. We, children of God, must flee from idols. We need to run to Jesus in this idol saturated world and live as a light to darkness. Idols can blind us so we need Jesus' light and especially his atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The Nightline report was fair but made one mistake. He said that Mark's theology was in an emergent stream but he is emerging, not emergent. See this video for more info. Other than that, this was a good journalism.
