![]() ![]() ![]() My thoughts in purple italics. Also, I would like you to make a mental note of every time Morris says “uh, um,” or the like. Huh-huh-huh-uh-he, I uh-uh-huh-uhuh I just uh they’re buddies now. So huh-uh (laughter) Uh but uh but it is surprising how, how uh we believe so quickly something that we read, uh about a brother in Christ that we’ve never even met. Uhm, tonight I was thinking though that uh we invited uh Mark and Steven to be at, a part of our conference and they both got bad media this year. And uh it’s just not healthy and um, so I’m uh glad that uh he’s saying, “Help me.” “Hel-help me learn uh to do it differently and do it better.”Īnd so I love him very, very much and um I’m I’m glad that he’s here. Uhm, he, he, you know, when I say he made some mistakes, he made some mistakes like he past - he preached ten to twelve years, 50 weeks a year. Debbie and I’ve been able to spend some time with Mark and Grace and talking with them and uuhh, we were talking the night before he resigned and talking about that and um talking through the situation and you know he uh resigned the church he founded and pastored for 18 years. Thank you, thank you for your graciousness very much and um, um., we’re grateful. (murmuring between MD and RM) (more applause, hollering, whistling) (Standing ovation, extended applause, hollering, whistling). Thank you. I’d like for you to show your love for him and for you to just welcome him. It is very sad that in the church we’re the only army that shoots at our wounded. But since someone’s already been crucified (hollering) for him (applause, hollering). The other choice is we could restore him with a spirit of gentleness considering ourselves, lest we are also tempted (applause). To just come and be ministered to, and again I just want to say a couple things.įirst of all, I want you to know that everything you read on the internet is not true (laughter, applause).Īnd there are some pastors, myself included, and some others that you would know, that we’re speaking into his life and he’s listening.Īnd uh, uh uh most of what you read is not true. Uh he asked me, “Could I come to the conference and just attend?” And I thought that was very big of him. He and I decided together uh that he was going to step out of ministry for a season and get some healing. Uh, it was publicized that we cancelled him that’s not true, we did not cancel. Uh, he was supposed to speak at our conference. He’s going through uh a a difficulty that most of you’ve probably read about. ![]() A good friend of mine.Īnd I’ve been um speaking with him for several months now. Uhm, I wanna before I uh introduce Steven, our our speaker tonight, I want to introduce you to a friend. And I hope you, you were refreshed in his presence, uh, tonight. Part of our heart is that you’re refreshed in the presence of God, when you come. Would you agree? So far uh, we’re just getting started (applause). Transcript of Robert Morris and Mark Driscoll from the Gateway Leadership + Worship Conference on the evening of Monday, October 20, 2014, as broadcast live via DayStar Television: I feel it’s important to evaluate his manipulative technique. I also believe that Morris’s power play here is very dangerous. I will not translate Driscoll because I think most people can see that he’s trying to use his kids to make a pity play. It was immense foolishness on Morris’s part. Robert Morris should not have offered Mark Driscoll the microphone if he genuinely wants Driscoll to reform. Morris offered Driscoll the microphone - and Driscoll took it - in direct contravention of the undertaking Driscoll had given on 24 August 2014 ( article & transcript of Driscoll’s undertaking) ( video). Robert Morris, pastor of Gateway Church near Dallas, recently praised Mark Driscoll and invited him up to the platform at a large conference in Dallas and gave him the microphone (see video - but the latter portion showing Morris and Driscoll speaking on stage has been removed since it was first uploaded to YouTube.) ![]()
