Yesterday I posted Mark Driscoll’s definition of the church.
I don’t have anything to add to that; I’m not the guy who wants to face down Driscoll on any issue. He’s big and tough.
I think though it might be good to look at the church from another perspective. Driscoll gives us a great way to see [...]
