Wow really great and encouraging article. Blessings to Driscoll and his ministry in Seattle.
Did anyone else read the Salon.com profile which CT linked at the end (title: Come As You Are) ? I found that article really disheartening. I suppose what was most discouraging was the testimony of 2 wives (page 3) who were apparently encouraged to abandon their hopes and aspirations to become baby-makers and now seem to resent their husbands and Mars Hill. At least this is how the author is portraying it. One woman wishes she could go back to school but has resigned herself that it isn't "God's plan." It would seem these women feel unloved and serve their families out of duty rather than joy. That is sad. I hope this is just a case of Salon.com putting a liberal spin on things. I'm very much a supporter of Driscoll and Mars Hill. I hope Pastor Mark sees what is going on with these women and is addressing the issues with their husbands.
jayson just to catch you up to speed that is a really old article. And the ladies who you are speaking of actually came out afterward and refuted what the reporter wrote, and said they were taken out of context. Not trying to make excuses for Driscoll or Mars Hill but I think this is important to note, especially considering the ideological nature of Salon
I just can't not like Driscoll. He's rough around the edges and there are definitely things I'd do differently, but he's such a breath of fresh air in the Reformed/evangelical world. He's so real, & he doesn't hyperventilate if someone says something that sounds Arminian. I think those of us who are big into all the Together for the Gospel crowd need a little Driscoll in our lives too.
Thanks anonymous...I didn't bother to Google first and now I have. Note to self: Salon is trash.
I guess it's me, but there's something missing here.
I appreciate Mark. Something's missing and I can't put my finger on it.
Most likely it's just me.
Lord bless this servant. Amen.
It made me sad to read MacArthur's comments towards Driscoll in this article. I really appreciate MacArthur's role in preserving conservative, Reformed doctrine in American evangelicalism, but his fundamentalistic proclivity towards over-the-top criticism is disturbing.
I love it when Driscoll takes criticism like a compliment. That is just one of the reasons why he is my hero.
REVOLUTION
in a lot of ways driscoll is a dream come true for a lot of us. its almost like young guys who love Jesus as He is portrayed in the Bible want an excuse not to fully put all of our time focusing on Him in the Word and in prayer and worship. we want to be able to be told by an authority that its ok to love Jesus and watch "superbad." you don't have to like and enjoy the culture by diving into it to understand the culture. you don't have to go to a movie to know that heathens love movies about sex and drugs just like you don't have to have a homosexual affair to know that it is sin. when i read statements like, "fundamentalism is losing the war," it assures me that those who believe we have any say about the outcome of any kind of war with the powers of world don't really understand God's sovereignty. if God is sovereign, all that is needed is what He says is needed for evangelism. in the Bible, phillip didn't go study ethiopian culture, he taught the text to someone God was calling to salvation. then, according to His plan, God opened the eyes of the unbelieving pagan to reveal the Glory of CHRIST in salvation. phillip wasn't a great missional man; he was just a donkey GOD spoke through to accomplish HIS purpose. (see numbers 22)
I hardly read my bible before I started listening to Driscoll sermons. He is one of the many reasons (the elders at my church included) that have kicked my butt into being a leader in my home and spending time in the word.
