Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA was invited to speak at the Desiring God 2008 National Conference in September. If you have not yet watched or listened to his session, How Sharp the Edge? Christ, Controversy, and Cutting Words, I strongly recommend that you do so now. I found his message, considered by some to be rather controversial, to be deeply encouraging, impactful, and convicting.
Driscoll’s basic outline contains five main points:
- Christians are to feed the sheep.
- Rebuke the swine.
- Shoot the wolves.
- Bark at the dogs.
- Pray for the shepherds.
I encourage you to listen to the message in its entirety. Full audio and video are available for streaming or download here.
