There were warnings. Mature Christian leaders expressed concern a decade ago. Some of them said, with regret, that they were convinced his ministry would eventually and inevitably explode into scandal at some point. At the time I was tempted to take this for pessimism or a curmudgeon’s spirit. But then Driscoll’s ministry exploded into scandal. Now I have to see it as wisdom—wisdom that comes from many years of observation and many years of searching the Scriptures. These men knew what we overlooked: Character is king. When the Bible lays out qualifications to ministry, it is character that rules every time. - Tim Challies
