Reaping what you sow...
Mark Driscoll speaking:
“...Everything was perfect. And he just called and told me he wants a divorce, he never wants to see me again...hes not coming home from work. She says 'I don't know what happened. Just all of a sudden everything changed.' Go talk to him, say whats your side of it. He says 'Everyday since we been married, I come home from work, I walk in the door, and she first thing, just starts into me. Nagging, yelling, biting, its awful. And he said its just – and literally what he is explaining is she puts her hand in the bucket of sin, takes out nagging and just throws it out all over him first thing, everyday, he walks in the door. And he said I – he said now whats happened is, it is starting to spread.. And my kids are doing the same thing she is. Because she does it in front of my kids. Not only is she sowing her seed all over her husband, she is sowing her seed all over her household of 'lets nag dad. Lets just anoy him as much – lets yell at him and boss him around. Lets take away all of his dignity and strip him of his masculinity, and then its OK because he's a Christian. He won't get mad. He won;t leave. He won't get sick of it. There's no 'cause and effect'. There's no sowing and reaping.' She's totally deceived! And he said 'I am just sick of it'. He said 'I work 60, 70, 80 hours a week.' He said 'she stays home with the kids. I pay for private school, I pay all the bills, I love the kids, I love the Lord, I love my wife.' He said 'I just can't handle it anymore! I'm just sick of it. I'm fed up!' 'Every day I walk in the door and just like a drill Sargent she's got a list of things I didn't do right that she wants me to do.' I said like what? He said – he said 'for a couple of weeks every time I walked in the door it was that I - I hadn't hung the towel up in the right place or when I hung the towel up in the right place, I had not used it for three days before I put it in the hamper, I had used it for two days.' He said 'I'd just – I'm done! And so then I walk in the door and the next thing I know my daughter's saying the same thing. And she's six!' And he said 'I...it's spreading, its everywhere.'
I asked her well what happened. She says 'I have no idea – he just changed'. No he didn't. The issue was for years you were sowing seed all over your household and then one day he comes home, and its harvest time. And he says that's it! I am never coming home again. I'm done." ...
