The words of the local elder as reported in the first link seem appropriate and pastoral.
The column in the second link seems arrogant and judgemental.
Maranatha!

Mark Jones always sounds that way, to be honest. And I say that even though I find some of his stuff helpful.
...for Jones to write that way, but after watching the disasters that have befallen many prominent evangelical leaders--Doug Philipps, Bill Gothard, the Duggars, Jack and David Hyles, Jack Schapp, James MacDonald, Mark Driscoll, Josh Harris, etc..--I would have to argue that his warnings about the perils of popularity and prominence need to be heard.
Very sad for Lawson, Trinity Bible, and the broader conservative evangelical community.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
