Mark Driscoll Resigns!

[Angela53510]

I wonder if he is planning to start a new church. I also wonder if Driscoll posted n CC under an alias??

Mark Driscoll, top megachurch pastor, resigns - CNN.com

"In a statement, Mars Hills' board of overseers said Driscoll hadn't committed any acts of "immorality, illegality or heresy" -- sins that have felled many a powerful pastor.

Instead, the board said, Driscoll is guilty of "arrogance, responding to conflict with a quick temper and harsh speech, and leading the staff and elders in a domineering manner."


Driscoll was not asked to leave, the board added, saying they were "surprised" to receive his resignation letter."

Well there is one person here I know who is probably dancing in the streets at this news.

Sad, yet it seems like it was something that needed to be done. It's just a sad situation all around. He had good sermons, I've listened to quite a few on my iPad. From what I've read his church helped to bring a lot of people to Christ in an area that isn't very religious. Plus his theology seemed to be pretty solid for such a famous pastor (no crazy prosperity gospel garbage). It's a shame that it all went to his head (I'm guessing that's what happened).

This sort of things remind me that judgement start at the house of God.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Petr 4:17

Leaders bear a great responsibility.
