Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: The Shape of Noah’s Ark

Dr Mariottini has called attention to a 3,700 year-old cuneiform tablet saying that the ark built to survive the world-wide flood was a circular raft made of reeds. I agree with Mariottini's assessment that the shape of the ark was more like an immense box not unlike the Ark Covenant was really a box. The Genesis account does not leave room for imagining the shape of the ark as circular. This tablet and Genesis can't both be right. SO I'll put my trust in the Genesis account. Also I have no idea how the animals could have been transported on a raft with no roof. Take a look his post.

Good Sex, Bad Sex - Mark Driscoll

I heard about this sermon, but I never saw it until now. Mark Driscoll has gotten a lot of flack for choosing to preach on sex. He had been accused of using "Sex" to feel his pew. I wondered if that was true or if he was truly giving a word from God. Of course God has something to say to us about sex. So I listened to the sermon below. I disagree with the criticisms. The problem is that he really hammers what the Bible says in no uncertain terms. Things that need to be said but no one want to hear or say.
