St. Timothy Lutheran Church

Hey all you men out there.  I just listened to a message called Men and Marriage given by Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, and it was very, very powerful, so I wanted to post a link for you all, in hopes that you will make the time to listen to it as well.  If you are seeking to truly be a man of God - not a wimp, not a pushover, not a chauvinist - then it's always good to have a gut check once in a while.  I think it would be great if a bunch of you could listen to this, and then we could get together over some drinks and talk about it and help each other toe the line.

The link is down at the bottom of this post, but before that, here are a couple of things you should know:

• In this message, Driscoll talks the way he'd talk to men.  He doesn't dress it up and make it politically correct or "sensitive." 
• It is a long message - about and hour.  I suggest that you burn it to a CD so you can listen to it during your commute.  If you want me to, I'll burn it to a CD for you - just contact me via email and let me know (musicman@thirstyforjesus.org)
• Women, bug your men to listen to this.  You'll benefit too!
• Yes, this is a message given by another pastor.  This isn't because I think our pastors don't have anything good to say about men and marriage.  We're all following and talking about the same God and the same Bible, and everyone's going to come at it from a slightly different angle.  Later in the fall, we're going to have our own series on Biblical marriage and families, and men and women will be specifically addressed during that series.

 Note that you can click on "Play Video" and just watch the video, or at the lower left of the video screen, you can see a button that says "Play Audio Only."  Also, below the right half of the video, you'll see a link that says "Downloads."  Clicking on that will give you links that will allow you to download a video or audio file which you may then burn to a DVD or CD.  Again, if you'd like me to do this for you, I would be more than happy to, so please let me know.
