More quotes by Mark Driscoll
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.
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.
Mark Driscoll
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
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
Faith only grows through suffering.
Mark Driscoll
Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.
Mark Driscoll
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
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
Spirituality, without the Holy Spirit, is demonic.
Mark Driscoll
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
Mark Driscoll
Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Mark Driscoll
You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.
Mark Driscoll
You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
Mark Driscoll
...Seattle has unleashed this weird phenomenon on the world called the coffee shop. And the coffee shop, thanks to Starbucks, is the place where socially isolated, lonely, needy people gather together to ignore one another.
Mark Driscoll
God is tolerant in that He asks everyone to repent.
Mark Driscoll
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
The goal of Christian dating is not to have a boyfriend or girlfriend but to find a spouse. Have that in mind as you get to know one an- other, and if you’re not ready to commit to a relationship with the end goal of marriage, it’s better not to date but simply to remain friends.
Mark Driscoll
Fear is not always a sin but it always is an opportunity.
Mark Driscoll
I want to live with autonomy. That's the essence of sin.
Mark Driscoll
Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
