"Mark Driscoll is a ____."

...and a lot of other colorful language was used in the 30+ comments I read on fb about Driscoll's recent interview here . This blog post isn't really about Mark Driscoll or what he may or may not be. Here's the thing:  I don't really like the guy.  I even hid him on fb because his posts irked me so much. But the guy's my brother in Christ. And God loves him.  I think Jesus meant all that stuff when he said things like,  "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" . Since Driscoll is neither my enemy nor persecuting me, it's probably supposed to be even easier to love this guy.  Anyone who's ever been to a wedding knows what love is according to God's Word: "Love is patient and kind ;  love does not envy or boast ;  it is not arrogant   or rude .   It does not insist on its own way ;  it is not irritable or resentful ;  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing ,  but rejoices with the truth .
