I liked what CJ Mahaney said that "He was not an expert on humility, but he was an expert on pride" ... I identify with that... Humility is a complete submissiveness to the will of God...Humility means You are with God, and not with the World,Pride is of the worldly systems...Humility is not to judge...
Spiritually I always thought of Mark Driscoll to be a little wet behind the ears. (That is my own Spiritual pride speaking.) This Sermon proves that everyone can grow along spritual lines so long as we remain teachable. Mark makes my blood boil most of the time, but He has a good following and this shows his willingness to stay teachable. Good Job Mark.
@doireallyneed1 Well yeah, most religions deal in absolutist and unweildly moral systems thet inevitebly lead to self-righteous, hate-filled and petty actions.
Open minded critical analysis of demonstrable facts should be the only method of developing moral systems (we can't forget much of the ground work of this was done by christian theologians), any other way is a cop-out.
@djking2d Worshipping a book loosely connected to Jesus teaching does not make one a christian, that's idolatry. God wrote his word on the hearts of men, that's more important than the poor imitation by barely literate, blood thirsty, self-righteous, hate-filled and petty tribes from the middle-east.

Refreshing and hopeful coming from a man who is on record as saying elders need a punch in the nose.

@ArchhereticK,
And let us not forget the barely literate, self-righteous, hate-filled, petty (but perhaps slightly less blood thirsty) Tribes from North America.

@ArchhereticK Well, I'm not one of them.

@djking2d Most people who claim to be christian today do infact worship a book ahead of god. The vast majority.

@ArchhereticK Christians don't worship a book.
