Mark Driscoll gives Bono some props as the brutha' waxed prophetic at the National Prayer Breakfast. Then his post turns pastoral as he cautions us to avoid the pitfall of making "money" the primary issue (instead of righteousness) as we look at how to best serve the poor. Mark breaks humanity down into 4 socio-economic groups.
UPDATE: Mark (right) just preached a great sermon Sunday on the themes of discipleship and maturity in the Body of Christ. I Corinthians 2:1-16
Do you think this man has influence? Put aside your personal opinion of U2 frontman/political philanthropist Bono for a second. This guy is appealing this morning to the most powerful leader in the world on a national stage to increase US spending an extra 1% GDP to help fight global poverty and disease. Will it work? Probably not. But listen to him speak. Bono strikes me as a humble man who really wants to please God by helping people. Nobody has this kind of audience. Perhaps we would do well as the church by following his example of "doing" something about the problems surrounding us instead of debating whether or not he's saved. God, forgive me. Watch Bono's complete 20 minute speech. I would love to hear your opinion. HT: DP
