They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. (1 John 4:5, NKJV)

Apprising Ministries is pleased to bring you the video clip below about Rob Bell, a very influential pastor in the Emergent Church, where my friend Cameron Buettel shares his thoughts concerning the Bell Nooma DVD “Dust.” Let’s get this straight once for all: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

Jesus is God; God hopes for nothing because He already knows all things, therefore God cannot have faith in anyone or anything. This is just more man-centered mystic mumbo jumbo because disciples of Jesus don’t convert anybody; God does.

So you’d do well to think about this the next time someone teaches you about God: If you really love the Lord, then you’ll be about exalting Him for His incredible grace toward us sinning rebels who are mankind. To quote that revered old theologian of rock relevance, Dr. Bo Diddley — “Tell me, who do you love?” Soli Deo gloria!
