How to avoid sexual temptation...

Thanks to Mark Driscoll for these handy hints on men and women working together!!!

Here are a few choice snippets chosen by Laura and myself:

"Pastors must not travel alone; the anonymity and fatigue of the road is too great a temptation for many men."

"Churches should consider returning to heterosexual male assistants who are like Timothy and Titus to serve alongside pastors. Too often the pastor’s assistant is a woman who, if not sexually involved, becomes too emotionally involved with the pastor as a sort of emotional and practical second wife. I have been blessed with a trustworthy heterosexual male assistant who can travel with me, meet with me, etc., without the fear of any temptations or even false allegations since we have beautiful wives and eight children between us.”

The sexism within these statements is so hideous i don't know whether to laugh or cry...

This guy seems to spend so much time thinking about women, I don't know how he gets any ministry done. And all this paranoia about phone numbers, and 'pastors wives' (not 'husbands' of course) who 'let themselves go' - not to mention his predilection for young males to 'assist' him. Can he be serious? For a Christian leader, he seems to have an unhealthy fascination with unredeemed passions. Yet all the responses on his blog are congratulating him! No wonder people think Christians are mad. Freud would have a field day. Meanwhile, God is probably weeping. So yes, Ben, crying is better than laughing.

I don't think I've seen such unreformed sexist twaddle pronounced quite so earnestly for some time.

I'm pretty speechless...which is maybe as well as I see you need an account to comment on his blog and "Currently accounts are limited to people that attended the Reform & Resurge conference". Way to keep your comments sycophantic...and given the title for the 2007 conference is "Where the Hand of God and the Hands of Men Meet", presumably quite male as well.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don’t mind, and those that mind, don’t matter.
