There is a new sheriff in town. At least that is what it seems but I am not sure he will last too long and may already be fading. You know him. He is young, hip, conservative, socially drinks yet has a very rigid and somewhat unforgiving view on family, spousal relationships, John Calvin, and whatever else is not of his worldview. The Urban Fundamentalist is fast becoming sheriff.
By now you know I am poking fun at young Calvinistic pastors. They have ‘5’ distinct teachings.
1. Everything they say is said with a stern rightness…even when they say they don’t know.
2. You don’t know as much as they do.
3. They don’t need you, they will do their own thing, they know what they are doing.
4. They are always cool.
5. They will thank you for supporting their start up but after careful prayerful consideration, they will support another group when they are done with you.
