Driscoll is an extremely capable man, and has taught and written some valuable stuff. If God uses this to add the quality of sincere humility and soft dependence, good can come of it. Thinking there are many pastors and church leaders who could use a whuppin’ with a humble stick.

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.

I’m sorry that all this has happened. Pride does go before a fall, but when my 11 yo daughter was dying to read the Twilight series, it was Marc Driscoll’s informative and humorous YouTube video on the subject that convinced her that Twilight wasn’t something she wanted to put into her brain.
