I said I didn't want to come back to the issue of the whole Mark Driscoll vs. Brian McLaren row a couple months back. Well, a couple days ago,
this post appeared on Mark's blog. I truly respect Mark for doing this - and whether I agree or disagree with any given theological or doctrinal stand he may take, it shows some character and a devotion to God and God's people.
In the end, I do not want my tone and style to get in the way of important discussions and kingdom work. So, my intention is to lean into God’s empowering grace to become a holy man who demonstrates greater self-control. In the future, my prayer is that I could continue to speak with pithy edginess and candor that is also marked by grace and appropriate words. I obviously failed this time. Please forgive me and pray for me.
Peace
