Fellowship and partnership with other believers is only possible if we know how to distinguish between non-negotiable convictions on the one hand, and those issues where freedom and flexibility is allowed on the other hand. To that end, I liked what Mark Driscoll had to say in this video clip about putting certain matters in the “open hand” and putting other matters in the “closed hand.” He says that Christians get into trouble when they put issues in one "hand" that really belong in the other. Good stuff.
The clip was prepared to promote John Piper's Desiring God National Conference in late September. Other video clips from interviews of the conference speakers can be found here. I'll add some reactions to some other video clips in later posts.
