TGC blogger Jared Wilson is incensed because he feels his writing career and prospects are personally hurt by Dricoll buying his way onto the NYT bestseller list. http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/gospeldrivenchurch/2014/03/05/whats-wrong-with-buying-your-way-onto-the-bestseller-list/<br /><br />But never a peep out of them about how the contents of the sermons and books create an abusive atmosphere for women and children.<br /><br />Their blindness is... appalling<br /><br />Jesus feels sick about this blindness and so do I:<br /><br /><i>16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,[a] I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Anyway, here is the comment as it applies to Grace:<br /><br />If Driscoll felt comfortable enough to tell a bunch of women he didn’t know in a service in Scotland that Jesus COMMANDS them to perform OS on their husbands, what the heck (WTH) was he telling Grace in the privacy of their own bedroom? What sort of commands from Jesus was he telling Grace about? How often was he imploring her to obey Jesus and service him in whatever capacity that he demanded? What sort of angry-young-prophet measures did he use to relay these commands? With sort of force, emotional and/or spiritual and/or physical did he use make her take these commands as seriously as he wanted her to?<br />It’s disgusting that few people picked up on this.<br />I’m glad he got caught with the plagiarism and NYT list stuff.<br />But I’m sorry that his misogyny of all women and mistreatment of his wife are so unimportant to the much of churchdom. People should have been all over his dysfunctional relationship with his wife like stink on poo. But then again, with such ridiculous groups like CBMW and people like Piper being held up as paragons of virtue and true biblical Christianity, what was I supposed to expect?Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-56500759286201117092014-03-18T20:59:15.469-07:002014-03-18T20:59:15.469-07:00Yeah, when my kids hit teenagerville, things chang...Yeah, when my kids hit teenagerville, things changed a lot.

MY husband never advocated <a href="http://notabarbie.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/blow-job-evangelism/" rel="nofollow">Blow Job evangelism</a> from the pulpit nor sodomy for birth control. Imagine the harassment his daughters could face when the young men get hold of that stuff? I'm sure his kids are curious what is in daddy's books. Imagine other kids at school bullying his children over his pornographic sexual obsessions... <br />(((((((wincing and shaking head)))))))<br /><br />When his kids grow up, I wonder what will be in the books they write???
