This is a late comment, but seeing the picture of his pool, it occurs to me that getting run out of gray, cloudy Seattle might have been the best thing that ever happened to him.

agreed. And, fruit and successes were probably confused for one another. Just b/c something is “successful” by a human metric were they actually fruitful in the biblical sense? If your church has 10,000s of people but they’re all just pawns in the big game of MD’s Ego, then it’s not fruit even if it’s successful in a numerical sense.

Somewhere read his horrific abusive tirade to or on his wife it wasn’t good at all. Shows MD has NO love in heart, obviously doesn’t truly understand First Corinthians 13: just look at the fruit or lack of what did to MHC and all the people that will take a LIFETIME to recover. How can you teach God’s LOVE, Grace and Mercy when your NOT healed up yourself; which is much of our false church leaders!

I’ve thought that for a while now. If he is so abusive to people who work for him how is his home life not also in shambles? Is he a good husband & father or is he abusive to them too?
