Mark Driscoll to Preach at Crystal Cathedral, ‘Hour of Power’
Church Solutions ^ | 04/30/2009

Posted on 05/01/2009 1:27:01 PM PDT by Alex Murphy

Mark Driscoll, the pastor of Seattle-based Mars Hill Church, will preach at the famed Crystal Cathedral in Southern California Sunday, June 14, and will appear on the “Hour of Power.”

Crystal Cathedral is home to the Rev. Robert Schuller and his successful television ministry but has seen some decline in size and influence in recent years. Financial difficulties have caused the church to lay off staff and sell office space.

Mars Hill, on the other hand, is among America’s booming churches. Driscoll preaches a “masculine” form of Calvinist theology that emphasizes the toughness of Jesus and Christianity. He also regularly addresses hot-button issues and dedicates his church, often filled with young hipsters, to stay relevant to culture.

Birds of a feather, perhaps?

I have not either and if what I read here is true, I have no desire to hear him either.

Interesting.

A fair chance he'll hit them with the law/gospel one two punch.
