“The question is not ’should you be frustrated,’ the question is ‘are you?’ and if you are, taking verses out of context and being a nice churchy person, ‘oh praise God in all circumstances, thats what I believe..’ ‘I’m more than a conquerer in Christ, thats what I believe *begins to fake cry*’… You’re lying, that’s what I believe. And that verse is out of context. This is what we do, sometimes the fig leaf we hide behind are verses out of context, so the people don’t know how we are really feeling but they only engage in our theological presuppositions. The beauty of Naomi: Brutal Honesty. Some of you here are upset, angry and bitter, you shouldn’t be, but let’s be honest about it. What I love about Naomi is she runs to God’s people and she tells them ‘here’s where I am at’ and I believe this is her public declaration that she is inviting others in for help and counsel and support and love and mercy and correction. She is telling the other women I need help. That is a virtue.”
-Mark Driscoll
