Here is a gracious, helpful reply by Darrin Patrick to John MacArthur’s misunderstanding of a quote from his book Church Planter.
I think this paragraph in particular is worth highlighting:
When I misunderstand or am misunderstood, I want to quickly ask, “What is God teaching me?” And, He is teaching me through Dr. MacArthur’s critique. For that, I am very thankful! For those of you who have been quick to be critical of Dr. MacArthur, please remember that we all need to be corrected from time to time. Also, ALL of us who are younger need to give a careful listen to the concerns of seasoned pastors, many of whom have forgotten more than we might ever know.
