BREAKING: Mark Driscoll resigns from Mars Hill Church

Those of us who are distant from the situation should be hopeful and pray for God’s best for the church and brother Driscoll. Those who are involved in the situation should be careful, wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Helpful thoughts. One take-away line: “Leadership matters. Church members need to know what spiritual abuse of leadership looks like, and church leaders need to be trained well, enthusiastically supported when they walk in line with Scripture, and held accountable when they abuse their position of authority.”

Praying for Mark and praying for God’s work in the Northwest.

I can disagree with Mr. Driscoll on any number of issues and note what appears to be some (at least temporarily) disqualifying character on his part, but yes, they were the big thing going for the Gospel in Seattle, and we need to pray that whoever comes next (and whoever is already nearby in terms of Bible-believing churches) are able to pick up the pieces.

Now let’s see TGC put some feet to the talk by getting Justin Taylor to apologize for his misuse of authority as Crossway VP to damage her radio show by encouraging all Christian book publishers to avoid it. Or….does that only apply in select circumstances that TGC has to approve?

The #tgcblockedparty hashtag gives us the answer to that question.

PS - I’d attach the image, but can’t get it to work. Does it have to be hosted online somewhere first?
