I’ve been a bit discouraged by the number of nit-picking blog posts and comments during the last couple of weeks since Mark Driscoll’s visit to Australia. While the negative response of a number is discouraging, there is so much that’s encouraging!!
In the last couple of weeks I’ve spoken to so many people who are fired-up for living for Jesus and being on mission with Jesus. There is a infectious vibe amongst young guys who are keen to plant churches and grow up for the sake of Jesus and the gospel. For that I’m thankful to God for the way that he has used his servant Mark Driscoll in encouraging Australians in this regard. Here are Driscoll’s 18 points from the clergy conference, here’s the mp3 and here’s some stuff from Burn Your Plastic Jesus.
Who’s up for planting a church???
