Nightline Debate: Does Satan Exist?
In another installment of the “Nightline Face-Off” series, the existence of Satan will be debated on Friday, March 20 at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA. The “Face-Off” series began two years ago when the question of “Does God Exist?” was the topic of discussion. The debate will be moderated by Dan Harris.
Arguing against the existence of Satan:
Dr. Deepak Chopra: philosopher, President, Alliance for a New Humanity
Bishop Carlton Pearson: author, “The Gospel of Inclusion”
Arguing for the existence of Satan:
Pastor Mark Driscoll; founding pastor, Mars Hill Church
Annie Lobert; executive director, “Hookers for Jesus”
You can watch the “Nightline Face-Off: Does Satan Exist?” on March 26 on ABCNews.com and on “Nightline” at 11:35 p.m. ET.
This should be quite the event. Perhaps it is an opportunity to reach out and begin conversations with non-Christians around you? Simply mentioning this Nighline debate may open a door for spiritual conversation. Try it out today…
I’ve marked my calendar – will you be watching the debate?
For more information, check out the Mars Hill blog or the Nightline website.

Mark Driscoll on Cutting Words and Harsh Language
Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA was invited to speak at the Desiring God 2008 National Conference in September. If you have not yet watched or listened to his session, How Sharp the Edge? Christ, Controversy, and Cutting Words, I strongly recommend that you do so now. I found his message, considered by some to be rather controversial, to be deeply encouraging, impactful, and convicting.
Driscoll’s basic outline contains five main points:
- Christians are to feed the sheep.
- Rebuke the swine.
- Shoot the wolves.
- Bark at the dogs.
- Pray for the shepherds.
I encourage you to listen to the message in its entirety. Full audio and video are available for streaming or download here.
What is your reaction to Driscoll’s message? Are there aspects with which you disagree? How might the truth of this message impact our churches, our ministries, our nation? How have you been changed, challenged, impacted, or convicted by Driscoll’s message?
