I have heard Michael Horton comment that God, just as he raised up Luther and/or Calvin, also raised up Francis of Loyola, The Society of Jesuit founder.
I do not know exactly what Horton means with this, but his comment bothers me. First, I was raised as a papist and I want to minister to papist. Secondly, I feel that Horton shuts up or prevents people like me and others with his comment who want to bring people to the Truth of the Gospel as proclaimed in the Protestant Reformation.
In the other hand, Michael Horton was raised as an Fundamentalist Evangelical and so for the most part his ministry (writings, radio show, journal, etc.) has been more about trying to influence such Neo-Evangelicals folks, as how he was raised, by targeting mainly Joel Osteen.
My Question is:
Should I now let Horton know that God has also raised up Joel Osteen, in His Providence. Therefore Horton should stop complaining about Joel Osteen, Horton should stop making fun at Osteen, Horton should stop comparing Osteen ministry to his, Horton should stop criticizing Osteen, Horton should stop being jealous of Osteen ministry, etc.???
Help!
