This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.
Mark Driscoll
Image
If my words don't flow out of a heart that rests in God's control, sovereignty, then they come out of the heart that seeks control so I can get what I want.

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

Everyone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin. You're just a conformist if you're drunk and naked driving around in a loud motorcycle smoking cigarrettes breaking commandments getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that. That's so tired!
Mark Driscoll

Any religious person who says he does not really need human friends because God is his Friend is calling God a liar because He's the One Who says we also need human friends.

Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things

Spirituality, without the Holy Spirit, is demonic.
Mark Driscoll

Women will be saved by going back to that role that God has chosen for them. Ladies, if the hair on the back of your neck stands up it is because you are fighting your role in the scripture.

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.

Much of spirituality today is an effort to change God to suit us. But he's not going to become more like us, we need to become more like him.
Mark Driscoll
Image
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.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Our identity is not in our joy, and our identity is not in our suffering. Our identity is in Christ, whether we have joy or are suffering.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Repentance keeps sin from condemning us because Jesus died and scorned the shame.
Mark Driscoll
Image
An animal will conquer others. A Spirit-filled man conquers himself - self-discipline , self-control.
Mark Driscoll
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
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.
Mark Driscoll
Image
You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Fathers need to be tough and tender...you be tough for your family, be tender with your family. You protect them, and you be a safe place.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
