And the a_a_ sex pastor as well.

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.Ping!

ONe thing that really hurt Driscoll was the disclosure that he spent $200 grand of the Church’s money to get his book on the NYT bestseller list. Something which has been done by several other megachurch pastors.

I couldn’t stand the man. He just grossed me out when he would write about sex and about his wife’s butt.

"I couldnt stand the man. He just grossed me out when he would write about sex and about his wifes butt."
Look at the bright side: at least he didn't announce he was leaving his wife to marry another man.
To: RoosterRedux
I attended there once. When he spoke, he was constantly looking at the back wall of the building to the point I thought his sermon notes were projected on it. But I asked the sound guy and he said, “No, that’s just the way he does it during the sermon.”

No one can call himself your pastor if he doesn’t know your name. Mega-churches are self-defeating.

and lambasted the supposed rise of “male lesbians;” “feman,” (men who act like women, in his definition); and “men who allow their wives to nag at them.”
He once said that mainstream Christians had turned Jesus into a “Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ,” and a “neutered and limp-wristed popular Sky Fairy of pop culture that ... would never talk about sin or send anyone to hell.”
He is not all wrong.

He says it's A-OK for a good Christian man to sodomize his lovely bride? :o(
And I suppose he's, nevertheless, agin' the gays?

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.

Did you even bother reading the article?
1. He resigned, unexpectedly. He was not "forced out."
2. He admitted and repented of several serious sins which negatively affected the congregation. His leadership, on the whole, was far from "effective."
