Apprising Ministries is pleased to point out that in a fine defense of the proper way to stand for Biblical truth in this time of an American Christian Church chock full of spiritual sissies Phil Johnson wrote over at Pyromaniacs:

The esteemed Dr. Warnock has made yet another post (plus a bonus follow-up comment) objecting to the look and feel of our polemic against some stylish doctrines and ministry philosophies which have borne notoriously rotten fruits.

Specifically, he suggests that in last Monday’s Pyro-post I ought not to have criticized Willow Creek’s pragmatic, program-driven ministry philosophy without first saying something really nice and affirmative about them…

There might be many nutritious scraps of food garbage in a compost heap, but if something in you compels you to go out of your way to point them out to an undiscerning toddler, shame on you. (Online source)

Now I don’t happen to know Phil Johnson, but I can tell you one thing, in this Truth War I would be more than happy to share a foxhole with such a solid soldier.
