Christian Man Mourns Passing of Great Preacher, Ignores All the Bad Stuff He Said and Did

A local Christian man, Michael Brown, was saddened to hear about the death of a famous preacher, whom he admired for his contributions to modern Christianity. Brown said he chose to focus on the positive aspects of the preacher's legacy, and not dwell on the controversial and divisive issues that he disagreed with.

"I think he was a great man of God, who preached the gospel faithfully and boldly," Brown said. "He had a huge impact on many people's lives, including mine. He taught me how to study the Bible, how to pray, how to share my faith, and how to live a godly life."

Brown said he was aware of some of the preacher's controversial views and actions, such as his endorsement of a political candidate who was accused of sexual misconduct, his approach to social justice and race relations, his support for a war that killed thousands of civilians, his endorsement of another pastor later found to be involved in a financial scandal that defrauded millions of dollars from donors, and his denial of climate change and evolution.

However, Brown said he did not let those things affect his admiration for the preacher. "I don't agree with everything he said or did, but I don't think that matters. He was human, after all. He made mistakes. He had flaws. He was not perfect. But he loved Jesus, and that's what counts."

Brown said he hoped that other Christians would follow his example and honor the preacher's memory by focusing on his good deeds and ignoring his bad ones. "We should not judge him or criticize him. We should forgive him and thank him for his service to the Lord. We should celebrate his life and legacy, and not let the enemy use his faults to divide us or discredit him."

Brown said he planned to attend a memorial service for the preacher at his church, where he expected to hear glowing tributes and testimonies from other admirers. He said he also planned to buy a copy of the preacher's latest book, which was published posthumously and contained his final thoughts on various topics.

"I'm sure it will be a blessing to me and many others," Brown said. "He was such a wise and godly man. I can't wait to read what he had to say."

The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu...
