Dan Kimball on Meeting Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio

I am heading on to the plane in a few minutes, but thank you Anderson University for a very refreshing time and for the conversations I got in. I learned a lot and was glad to be serving on mission with you the past few days. While I was there I got to meet up with Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio and have some great discussion about Law and Gospel. And got to head back to Fairmount which is the home town of James Dean. When I was in Indiana a few months ago, I went to James Dean grave and a museum and some of his hangouts. But I missed one museum, so went there this time and it was kind of funny they had a James Dean mannequin positioned like he was in the scene from the movie Rebel Without A Cause. They had the actual fence used in the movie here at the museum.

Evidence that Chris Rosebrough (Pirate Christian) Knows Something About the Doctrines of Grace

Sometimes Chris Rosebrough can sound a bit like Tim Keller:

 

Sometimes in our battle against false doctrine we can lose site of the fact that the pure Gospel that we are battling for is this amazing news that God so LOVED the world that He Gave is only begotten Son.
Christians have been given the ministry of reconciliation. To announce to mankind that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them and calling them to repentance and faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.
Sometimes, Christians who are zealous for the truth wage their battles more like Muslim Extremists rather than Christians. But, before you point your finger at other bloggers and say “boy is that right about so and so”. Ask yourself if you’re not the one who is guilty of doing that.
I know that in my case this has been true at times. - Chris Rosebrough (Pirate Christian)

What, Dan Kimball isn't in the photo?  The Pirate Christian flag in the background is cool but seriously, only one of the three is a Christian pirate.  The other three are claimed to be heretics? I understand the photo was taken during an emergent church conference.  Now I know who the Nadia is that critics of Pirate Christian reference in their tweets to Chris.

Tony Jones tweeted this photo from Big Tent Christianity with the tag:

Disagree? Sure, but still together in Christ.

Apparently Ken Silva took some offense to Tony’s interpretation of this moment, which I find terribly interesting when you consider that Tony was there and Ken was not there. In his post, Correcting Tony Jones, Ken interprets the this picture as one man (Chris Rosebrough – far right),

a Christian, reaching out to three people who desperately need to hear the Gospel of repentance and the forgiveness of their sins in Jesus’ Name.

My interpretation? I see four people posing, with smiles, for a picture.
