I haven't heard you preach though, but from our little dialogues when you help me with my sermons you don't sound like you'd be boring at all. The first sermon I ever gave was recorded, and it bored the crud out of me. I just wonder how many people heard what Driscoll said and went "Yeah, they are all boring, good thing I'm the exception". no, your not boring Dave.

Mark is good at putting others down to make himself look relevant.

He should stick to preaching the Word. You know what I mean man?

have you heard anything of mark driscoll preach? just go listen to a full sermon series and then come back and let me know if you think he is failing at preaching the Word.

I also agree with Luke…
