Marriage & Men

// March 29th, 2009 // Uncategorized

Not sure why this impressed me so much.  For starters, I don’t think any guy can listen to this and not be challenged to step it up in your marriage.

But, I think even more so what hit me is the righteous anger that Mark Driscoll (Preaching Pastor of Mars Hill Church) displays contrasts with how many of us do church.  I believe he was speaking the truth in love, but often times we will water down the truth or soften it a bit so as not to offend or make the first time visitor uncomfortable.  That whole aspect is making me think, too.
