It became painfully/strangely/humorously obvious at this week’s SBC meeting that a lot of people are worried about Mark Driscoll.
I’d like to suggest a brief program to calm you people down before you hurt yourselves, or worse, start a preaching series on cursing preachers who link sex toys on their sermon pages.
Read the rest for his reasons.
Personally, I feel a bit weird perpetuating the continual discussion of Mark on blogs. People, we need to get over it. Mark is a very uniquely gifted guy with a huge calling and is a sinner just like the rest of us. At times I feel like all the discussion on blogs about Mark is just a Christian version of celebrity gossip. Not good.
I do feel as though iMonk's post has some transferible concepts that are probably wise to reflect upon. That is why I post it.

different parts of the same body, right?
Amen to internet monk. My only question is what makes the Peasant Princess series an 'unmitigated disaster?' The sermons themselves were very instructive and, I thought, appropriate. It is when you get to the corresponding blog posts where he gets in trouble.
If you don't like him, ignore him for a few years, then see what God has done in the meantime.
I was left wondering: as everyone complains and debates about MD, how many more people have heard about the Grace of Christ and completely turned their lives around because of him? While we complain about one another's theologies, philosophies, or ideosyncracies, there is work to be done described in Matthew 28. I believe MD is doing it, not only in Seattle, but across the globe.
