"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."
- Rick Warren

Mark Driscoll at Desiring God 08 on God's use of tough words. Yes, it's long! Maybe you can do what I did and watch it in 15 minute bites. It's well worth it.
Quick outline: Driscoll says we should:
1. Feed the Sheep
2. Rebuke the Swine
3. Shoot the Wolves
4. Bark at the Dogs
5. Pray for the Shepherds
I will NEVER forget this message ever. Every minister and church leader should watch this.
God is love, and Jesus loves you, but neither one of them is always nice.

I made it thru......some highlights
"You might offend people if you say this - since the guy who first said it got murdered....ya think?"
"My favorite religion is not being religious" - man, can I relate to that - and it makes me just as religious as those I would condemn.
