Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.
Mark Driscoll
Image
On the Sabbath day, we are remembering that my relationship with God did not begin with what I've done, it is not sustained by what I do, and it is not guaranteed to the end by my effort or work. I'm saved from beginning to end by Jesus' work.
Mark Driscoll
Image
The church was custom built by Jesus, and we are all works in progress. We do not expect people to get their sin in order before attending church any more than a hospital expects people to get healed before they show up.
Mark Driscoll

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

Married life can seem as if it's only five days long. The first day you meet, the second day you marry, the third day your raise your children, the fourth day you meet your grandchildren, and the fifth day you die first or bury your spouse to go home alone for the first time in many years.

Who you think you are is what compels you to do what you do!

My desire as a Christian pastor is to see churches raised up as communities of grace ruled by Jesus and led by his gloriously masculine men who work their jobs, eat their meat, drink their beer, romance their wives, study their Bible, and raise their kids in glory and joy

Did think you were here to kill time listening to Christian music until you go to heaven? We've got work to do.

A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.

Fear is not always a sin but it always is an opportunity.

God picked a junior high girl [to be Jesus' mother]. Jesus was raised by a woman who today, we wouldn't even let her lead a bible study at a high school. But she could raise God.

Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.

Fear is vision without hope.

Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.

Image
Being single is not easy. But neither is being married. They are just difficult in different ways as God uses everything in our life to make us more like Jesus, who happened to live a perfect life while single.
Mark Driscoll
Image
I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
Mark Driscoll
Image
No one can remain neutral regarding Jesus' resurrection. The claim is too staggering, the event too earthshaking, the implications too significant and the matter too serious. We must either receive it or reject it as truth for us. To remain indifferent or undecided is to reject it.

You're either selfish, or you're a servant...but fundamentally selfish people are terrible friends, terrible lovers, terrible spouses, terrible Christians, terrible parents. They leave a terrible legacy. Will you be selfish? Will you be a servant?...A good marriage is a servant and a servant.
