The blogosphere is a bit more peaceful today. One of my least-favorite evangelical sites has been shut down. I actually do feel somewhat badly for the author because I know that she was doing what she really believed was the right thing. She thought it was her God-given duty to call out every problem that she perceived in the evangelical church today. She is a heretic-hunter par excellence.
I just don't know how much that site really helped anything. Were any Purpose-Driven churches changed because of her articles? Has Benny Hinn decided to shut down his operations? More importantly, how many people have been steered clear of any perceived problems? I guess if a few have then it was worth it.
She wrote in her farewell article that it hurt her to have someone write that "finding a good article on that site was like finding a nickel in a spittoon". As she so clearly demonstrated, Christian fellowship and love does not mean agreement. Apparently she is the only one allowed to vent her spleen.
