“Rob Bell just wants to be liked. He’s like the high school geek who wants to hang out with the cool guys.”
Actually, the geek’s done good for himself...in this world’s sense of “good”. Ascending the Pantheon to sup with Oprah? Success! I suspect he’s quite rich, as well, from his former run as megachurch pastor and author.
None of that matters when you are, in the end, going to have to give an account to Him with whom we have to do (who shows no partiality).
He was a failure as a pastor. The ONLY reason he has an audience is because he is saying what people want to hear. That doesn’t last very long.
