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
Image

Mark Driscoll
Image
I'll preach anywhere. If it's a round trip ticket to preach in hell, I'll take it-as long as it's round trip.

Image
Faith only grows through suffering.

You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
Mark Driscoll
Image
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
