“culture war, global warming or having daily sex with my wife”

Sooooooooooo offensive for you to compare those things.

Any man who preaches that his “Biblically submissive” wife owes him daily sex obviously has no idea what a woman experiences during sex or how much pain and discomfort she feels afterward. Or if he knows, he certainly doesn’t care, and won’t allow her to complain. Sex takes a toll on the female body, and daily sex is especially exhausting and hurtful. I won a divorce on the grounds of sexual abuse because my husband demanded daily sex as his marital right, which left me with permanent physical injuries!

I’m ’so’ post-evangelical that I am no longer able to even comment on the kind of things your readers and you are tweaked over in this video. What we need is not church plants but more people coming home to the true (yes, broken and human in oh so many places but true) Church that Jesus instituted. The plants and splits and derivations and good people involved in shadows of the truth will go until Christ’s triumphant return but it sure would be nice to see this misguided love and energy building the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, blessing Christ as we live as one.

Driscoll didn’t say anything like that about Haggard’s wife, Michelle, but it was attributed to him by folks on the blogosphere. What he actually said is different but I don’t feel like researching where that was. As has been explained here at Internet Monk more than a few times, just because it’s been attributed to someone doesn’t mean it’s what they said.

okay, i’m pretty post-evangelical, i would say, and i don’t know much about the driscoll guy, but isn’t he the one who said that ted haggard had his little bit of ‘trouble’ because his wife had ‘let herself go?’

all i can say is i’m glad i’m not married to him and i wish he wouldn’t extrapolate ALL KINDS OF STUFF from the bible that doesn’t really seem to be there in the first place.

and honestly, i didn’t even watch the video because i can’t believe that it would even be good for me to hear it. it would just make me feel MORE hopeless about the church in north america.

but i must confess i find this monk person interesting and i think i’ll be back.

Michael,
I praise God that you still pray for Mark. He is leading part of Jesus’ flock, and he needs much prayer. The LORD is really using him, and yes, he makes mistakes, but praise be to God who considered him faithful appointing him to the ministry.

The thing is, I think the whole “have sex…at LEAST once a day” was supposed to be funny, not serious. If you look, he has this twinkle in his eye and a slight grin when he says that.

That doesn’t excuse the fact he said it, ’cause he should know some people will take it seriously.

And to be honest, I thought it WAS funny. And I think he was just using the typical “Driscoll Hyperbole” to make his point.

And hey, in this area, he’s still ten steps more mature than he was a few years back.

I have a mentally handicapped son, and I’m not too sensitive when a teenager throws around the word “retarded”…but coming from a church leader? Kind of lame and insensitive.
