I had missed the controversy caused by John Piper inviting Rick Warren to a God conference. Apparently for some, John Piper – who told his daughter that God killed people in the Minnesota bridge collapse to put fear in the hearts of the rest of us – lost his Calvinist cred by inviting Warren to speak.
Trevin Wax has a great post about the whole affair and some wise counsel to everyone who wants to lob fireballs at other Christians.
I am a part-time local pastor serving Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church and a participant in the Indiana Conference's Wesleyan ConneXion. I teach business communication at Indiana University in the Kelley School of Business.
I also blog at Luc means light and contribute to The View from Here blog at Next Step Evangelism.
My wife, Lisa, and I have been married 23.5 years. Luc, 8, lives with us. Zach, 22, and JillAnn, 18, are off at college much too soon for my liking.

The doctrine of original sin is surely more humbling to man than the opposite: And I know not what honour we can pay to God, if we think man came out of His hands in the condition wherein he is now.
