Preachers and Pop-Stars

Donald Macleod in the November 'Evangelicals Now' complains about New Calvinist preachers dressing like pop stars. (He says 'dressed as pop stars.')  I've been wondering who he means?


John Piper, perhaps, and...

...Elvis Presley?
 
Or maybe he means
Thabiti Anyabwile
 
 
 




 
and Michael Jackson?

Surely not! 
 
Oh, wait - I know:

John Newton - need for personal revival

Do you ask how it is with me?  Just as the weather is this morning.  My heart is cold as the snow under foot, and cloudy as the sky over my head.  Not a beam of sunshine, but it is a mercy to have daylight.  It will not be always winter, though it has been a long winter with me.  We want a revival at Olney both for the shepherd and the sheep.  Yet my mouth is not stopped.  I can sometimes talk loud and look big in the pulpit, but how different a creature am I behind the scenes!  Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord!
