A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband's sin, but she may not be helping him either.

Mark Driscoll
Image
You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.
Mark Driscoll

Image
Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Mark Driscoll
