Back in January, Jared posts a note on how <a href=\"http:\/\/gospeldrivenchurch.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/gospel-frees-you-from-tyranny-of-hyper.html\">&#8220;the gospel frees you to chill the heck out.&#8221;<\/a>  Almost <em>three months later<\/em>, Justin Taylor finds it, and throws it up on his blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2010\/03\/27\/the-gospel-frees-you-to-chill-the-heck-out\/\">which promptly launches a comment war<\/a>.  Both Justin and Jared drop in to clear things up, and Kevin DeYoung <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/kevindeyoung\/2010\/03\/30\/wisdom-complexity-and-chilling-the-heck-out\/\">offers some helpful observations<\/a>.

(MP3)  Acuff can be really funny, and some of his observations are uncomfortably spot-on, but not all of his subject matter is for all age groups.

See?  I can be brief!
