the first reports are trickling in about the Desiring God fall conference on the power of words.
Mark Driscoll just completed his session entitled: How Sharp the Edge? Christ, Controversy, and Cutting Words.
It was one of the best messages I have ever heard, and one that needs to continue to be spoken. Driscoll was assigned the very difficult task of discussing the use of harsh, offense, and controversial language in the Christian church. “I have never been more troubled by a message then this one” – Driscoll
I do not expect to do what was spoken justice here in this post, but I will do my best.
He then proceeds to do so. It sounds like a good talk.
here is the page where audio and video are being posted. I have downloaded the Driscoll talk and will listen to it this evening and/or tomorrow morning.
UPDATE: more here.
