Fishers of Men

This little gem comes courtesy of my partner in crime. She's the visual talent in this side show.

I was kind of at a loss for words in how to bring this post round to having some sort of whit, play on words or painful joke. So I googled guitar fishing and all my problems were solved.

Yeah, at 57 seconds he does do a victory riff with a fish.

...

I am pretty sure the fish just couldn't stand the sound of his guitar playing and was committing suicide.

Too bad for the fish, it gets released back to it's Guritar Hero nightmare.  

So what does this have to do with Marky D? Well aside from the fact that Christ made His disciples fishers of men, not a whole lot, but Marky D 'casts a line' aka salvation message here.

Focus on the Family...or Don't.

Mark Driscoll is a family man. He loves his family. He loves the family of God. 

He loves photobombing family portraits. 

Okay, the last bit isn't scientific fact, but if I had a nickle for every time I saw Marky D squeak into a photo entry for Mormon Next Top Model Family, I'd have 5 cents.

 Ain't the kid in the grey sweater just the cah-utest?!?! <3

Real Marriage with the Same Spouse Factory

There is this idea out there that supposes that women think about chocolate more than ess-ee-ecks. (GASP!)

Well that isn't true.

(phew.)

In the first of several sermons purposed to bring a Biblical reality to marriages, Marky D shares with great humility and vulnerability his and Grace's marital testimony. 

Oompa Loompas not included. 

Actual Price of the Showcase is....

Sorry to keep you waiting with bated breath regarding the outcome of the showcase. Unfortunately, Marky D went 'over' and then overboard. He was none too happy to lose. This episode won't be airing. ;-) 

In case you are like me and thought, what the deuce does 'with bated breath' even mean? Wonder no more. 

Show Case Show Down.

I have heard Christians and non-Christians alike propose this question: if Jesus were alive today, would you follow him? I think most people would totally follow Jesus...on Twitter. Is that sacrilegious? Can you imagine if the price of discipleship was like an episode of The Price is Right? Only those who count the cost make it to the next level...the suspense! the flashing lights! the Miss America pageant rejects! 

Mark Driscoll you're the next contestant on The Price is Right! (Obviously! We all know wearing a t-shirt with a reference to the host doubles your chances of getting your name called).

Thankfully Jesus is not Bob Barker, and His commands do not include getting our pets spayed or  neutered. But Jesus was and is the Man-God. A contentious matter to many (although not the Bible) as Mark Driscoll discusses in this message from the Vintage Jesus series.

Luchador Marco 'El Jefe' Driscollo

So what do you do when you find 'men' using and abusing the women in their lives? 

Only the obvious. 

Marco Driscollo is all over it like me on a burrito. 

 A much needed rebuke is served when Pastor Marky D opens up a can of loco, effectively bringing the castida. 

I could write more, but honestly, it's a lot of work trying to find luchador vocabulary. See how it all pans out here (aqui).
