"That was probably the first church service that I've been to in years where I couldn't have just gotten up and preached the sermon myself. I think that's why I like it so much."
"Well honey, why don't you just preach some? You have a great Christian education."

I like some of Mark Driscoll's writing, but I have to disagree with him here. He might be right that many men are working, hunting, etc., but I think that says more about our culture and where men are placing their values, rather than Christian men. Christianity really is about living counter-culturally and that is very difficult for both men & women. As for the Church being feminized, Driscoll should get out of the suburbs and go to some solid doctrine churches. Also, has he never heard of a person in the Bible named Deborah? Lastly, just because you have a vagina doesn't mean you can't preach--the best pastors I have ever had have been women.
