\"\"<\/p>\n

Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley are close friends. \u00a0Sir Charles declares openly his love for Jordan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barkley thinks Jordan has a big problem, and one that is not going away anytime soon. \u00a0Simply put, Jordan has no one who is willing to do anything but fawn over him. \u00a0Jordan is too powerful for anyone to tell him what he needs to hear. \u00a0As a result, Jordan has habitually made stupid mistakes as a basketball executive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sir Charles has something to teach us Christians: We should not fear man (Isa. 2:22). \u00a0Isaiah tells us to “Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; for why should he be esteemed?” \u00a0We also must remember the nature of biblical love. \u00a0Prov. 27:5,6 is instructive: “Better is open rebuke than love that is concealed. \u00a0Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Does Mark Driscoll have these kinds of friends? \u00a0Do we?<\/strong><\/p>\n
