Speaking of Sex…

…Mark Driscoll had an excellent sermon on the subject of Birth Control a couple weeks back that I think is worth a listen. He’s currently in a series that is answering questions submitted to Mars Hill (Seattle), voted on, and ranked in the top 9. While I don’t agree with Driscoll on some stances thus far in the series, I think he nailed this one.

Yeah was a great sermon,it got a bit of flack over at Camp’s site for te q & a…

I just looked on Camp’s site for the flack about the Q&A and I didn’t see it. Do you have a link?

I think this is it:
Here
Its all more foolish shenanigans created by reading malice into everything Mars Hill and Driscoll does.
Read the second comment by Camp (second overall comment, first by Camp), its not what Driscoll does, its how he does it.

The Pride and Presumption of Men Upon Grace
…how the contemporary church embraces worldliness
Catchy title;-)..
I think Mark’s really nailed it on this series,the predestination one is great..But he got more flack over at Camp’s,for referring to predestination as duck duck damn…

The line that got me was Camp’s comment: “I would have much rather had him simply say, “read Song of Solomon and do what it tells you to do…”
If all we need is the Bible for instruction it seems to me that a lot of people have wasted a lot of paper (and cyberspace bytes) providing commentaries etc.
We had a small discussion about the Q&A on my blog:

Here’s the link to the Q&A session after this sermon. This is what mostly upset Camp, as I read him…
Personally, I think this is a much more honest approach to teaching/preaching - taking questions from the community and answering them on the spot - than most churches are willing to stomach…

Did Camp close his comments cause I cant find them?

Chris,
No he didn’t. Follow the links posted in this thread to get to them.
He posted a Spurgeon sermon after the Driscoll stuff so it looks like a new post.

I think I get it now. If it’s not done the way they would and the message is correct, it lacks fear and reverence.
