Session Four - Mark Driscoll (How Sharp the Edge? Christ, Controversy, and Cutting Words)

9.30.2008

Christians are to feed the sheep.

• Not be friendly to wolves
• Rebuke the pigs (swine)
• The pigs are people who don't act like Christians

"We use good words for good things and bad words for bad things and when we use good words for bad things it just confuses everybody." - Mark Driscoll

Shoot the wolves (false teachers)

• Wolves need to be blown up, but sheep need to be shepherded. (Matthew 23 - "Jesus shoots the wolves")

"The problem is some people won't fight; the problem is some people won't stop fighting." - Mark Driscoll

"They were saying a little circumcision brings you closer brings you closer to God, he [Paul] was saying that they should go varsity." - Mark Driscoll on Galations 5:11-13

"You say a Pharisee's mom shagged the Devil and it's on. Always." - Mark Driscoll on Matthew 23

"Good morning Lord, it's me again. CURSE ERASMUS!" - Mark Driscoll paraphrasing Martin Luther

• Bark at the dogs
• Religion is not ridiculous
• Jesus and religion are different

"...those white-shirted boys driving their bikes to hell." - Mark Driscoll defining Mormons

• Pray for the Shepherds
• Pastors have a difficult job - they have to decide who is a sheep, pig, or wolf.
