True Heart-Religion Humbles

“Heart-religion is too humbling to be popular. It leaves natural man no room to boast. It tells him that he is a guilty, lost, hell-deserving sinner, and that he must flee to Christ for salvation. It tells him that he is dead, and must be made alive again, and born of the Spirit. The pride of man rebels against such tidings as these. He hates to be told that his case is so bad.”

Mark Driscoll on Humility

Pastor Mark from Mars Hill Church takes a lot of shots and bullets when it comes to who he is. Whether it is his language, or a perceived arrogance the fact is the man has snipers all over the blog universe that are ready to take him out at the first instance of any imperfection.

This video shows though that he is a man, that yes is imperfect, and yes still sins, but is seeking humility and willing to own up to his mistakes. That is the mark of humility!

From the Resurgence:

This week at Mars Hill Church, Mark Driscoll preached on Humble Pastors. In this clip he explains how to find out if you're a humble pastor.
