Mark Driscoll explains the Emerging Church
Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church talks about the Emerging Church. If you are unfamiliar with this terminology this is a good introduction. Basically the Emerging Church is trying to address the glaring need the church has in America to re-reach our culture. Another word you may be hearing is the word “missional”. The underlying assumption is that the American church must evaluate the strategy that we have to be the mission to America. Every believer must see themselves as mission oriented, ie missional if we are to revive the church in America.

I’ve watched this before…fairly accurate descriptions, but I still think Driscoll is a jackass…he’s shown himself to be a man of many faces in the past couple of years. If you ever listen to his sermons, you may know what I mean.

Now I recall reading your post on him…I will have to listen to see if I share your assessment. I wouldn’t be surprised. I have seen more arrogance in Christianity than one would expect seeing our message is rooted in humility of Christ.
The Bible warns us against false prophets and especially in the last days Christians must be careful about who they are following. Do not waste your time listening to those who twist the scripture. Be careful who you are following– Keep your focus on Jesus! Men like Driscoll will be held accountable on judgement day.
