I have been doing some research on Mark Driscoll. It seems that some big name reformed leaders are embracing him and I am still not sold on the sincerity and genuiness of Mark Driscoll. I found this blog today, and would like to more detailed info. Then I find this blog and a video on Mark Driscoll repenting of not being humble, but I am not convinced. I think he is engaging and charamatic and funny, makes it easy to pull the wool over people’s eyes. I don’t know, maybe he is sincere. This blog states that this came in December when he was experiencing “opposition.” Then a mushy rant on Josh Harris’s site about this confession of pride. I have 2 Pastor friends who are treating him like a little naive puppy, who needs time and encouragement to out of the ECM. I think he is smart, clever and knows what he is doing.

I am devastated. I just left the church where I was employed and attended for many years. I am so hurt by the comments and lack of grace, love and compassion that I feel lost. I know that I will get through this with God’s help but I am still so upset and I don’t know what to do.

wounded,
Aren’t you glad you are PURCHASED and HIS?
“Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the PURCHASED possession, unto the praise of his glory.” (Eph 1:14)
Yes, the FEELINGS will vary.
The Biblical FACTS remain infallible.
Proceed in FAITH.
“..he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Heb 13:5)
P.S. A secret..always pray for the Lord’s best, for those you have the most difficulty praying for. Never allow inner chains of revenge. Otherwise, one remains chained.

Are you praying for Mark Driscoll before you post about him?
