Read this back when it was posted and it is still spot on.

What’s really sad and perplexing about all this is how a guy who has practically built his reputation on seeing, and apologizing for, the sins of others is so unable to do the same for his own.

Rachel, way to defend a friend. With art. And humor. Please do work on that “translation of Christian cliches” article as soon as you can. I’ll be lurking around waiting for it….

Gaye, yes, it’s the same person. Guess what? Writers can be really good writers, but be human. They can have insights into the nature of love, but not always love perfectly. I’m not defending Don Miller at all in this situation. He made a mistake, then didn’t handle the criticism for that mistake very well.
But like Don, I’m a writer and author. I’ve written books, articles etc on Christian living–that is, how to live out your faith. But I don’t do it perfectly. In fact, plenty of folks would argue that I make a lot of mistakes. Is that “ironic”? That I’m still a sinner, even though I write about spiritual growth? Even the Apostle Paul admitted to being a sinner. Don mishandled this situation. Like the rest of us, he has character flaws. Like the rest of us, those flaws come from the broken places of insecurity–the places God is still working on refining and sanctifying. Don’s also got character strengths, and has done some great things (like helping connect kids with mentors), and has a pretty amazing talent for writing. We’re all broken, we all need grace.

Seems a tad ironic….
