Now This Should Be Interesting

I can't think of a better person to address this topic (and I don't mean that sarcastically). I wonder how many Christians will have a negative first reaction to this video clip.....

For the record, I agree that there are times that harsh language needs to be used, but just like everything else, there is a danger because it can be abused. I don't think that asking "is harsh language is right or wrong" is the correct question, after all, it is in the Bible multiple times. I think what must be sought out is the motivation for using such language. I would argue that OFTEN (not always) pride is the motivation for using harsh language and that's when it would be wrong and inappropriate. But just as we are given an outline of how we are to rebuke others, the Scriptures also show us how and when it's right to use harsh language.

I trust that the Spirit is going to speak through Driscoll to show us just that, and no matter what people think about some of his past "moments", he is a child of the King who is pursuing humility. The difference between him and most of his critics is that he hasn't crafted the art of hiding his pride as well as they have. By God's grace may we ALL be so fortunate as Driscoll to have our pride exposed in hopes that people will love us enough to come along side and walk with us on our pursuit of humility and sanctification.
