His sins are considered leadership qualities by some. Lots of Bishops are overflowing with these qualities. While that's quite true, that's not the standard to which the Lord holds His leaders, as best exemplified by Jesus Himself. So, regardless whether Driscoll packed butts into pews, his leadership was not "effective," as he is finally admitting. That's what elder boards are for, to hold senior leaders accountable and confront them as needed.

Last year I was finding my way, and the biggest hurdle was attendance. I taught some classes four times! This year, I’ve set up two four-week sessions, instead of once a month, and I’m trying to get beyond lectures to something a little more involving.
When we do the Passover in the spring, I’ll have everyone on the floor on a blanket, to emphasize the vulnerability involved in sharing a meal and swearing a covenant. I gave a quick demo with one child last year (and had someone’s Dad saying, “Oh, that’s what it means!), but this year I can include everyone.

So you say. He did not, however, build this huge institution by any other means than his own character. The disposition against him is, I am certain, more an overthrow than an attempt to create a Jesus-like atmosphere.
There churches are not based on Christian principle. They are hard nosed demagogic oligarchies. Nor does the lead despot resign out of some vague sense of impropriety. This is a power play by the elders. Mark my words.

We went to a very, very large Calvary Chapel, and the pastor always had at least 2 “bodyguards” with him everywhere.

And Peter denied Jesus and later sided with the Judaizers.

If it wer Christ’s church that would certainly be the case. Not all who call His name are called by Him.

He actually said women’s bodies are houses for their husband’s penis. The dude is a pig.

And what really ticks me off about this guy is that the local non catholic churches in our area started these stupid classes on sex for their members based on some of this mans works, trying to get the married women to be more sexually active with their husbands.If you need to take a class on how to communicate your sexual needs to your wife and vice versa, maybe you have a whole set of different issues...
