The same sun

"The same sun melts the ice and hardens the clay."

Mark Driscoll alluded to the Puritan axiom above as describing what happens in teaching the great and hard doctrines like substitutionary atonement. It melts those appointed to salvation, and hardens those who are rebellious. That it hardens one does not mean that it ought not to be preached.

For a popular preacher, Driscoll certainly doesn't shy away from the hard topics.
