Everyone has something to teach you if you are humble enough to learn.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.

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.

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

So I decided to start a church, for three reasons. First, I hated going to church and wanted one I liked, so I thought I would just start my own. Second, God had spoken to me in one of those weird charismatic moments and told me to start a church. Third, I am scared of God and try to do what he says.

The problem with criticism today is that is instant, constant, global and permanent.

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.

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.

So let me tell you this, when it comes to...trying to introduce other people to Jesus. Don't get mad at them: it's not because they're stupid. It's because they're blind. Yelling louder, arguing harder, pushing firmer won't make someone who is blind see. Pray for them, speak to them, care for them.

...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.

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.

Image
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.

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.
Mark Driscoll
Image
God is tolerant in that He asks everyone to repent.

Spirituality, without the Holy Spirit, is demonic.
Mark Driscoll
Image
You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.

Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.
Mark Driscoll
Image
A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.
Mark Driscoll
Image
The inevitable result of borrowed faith is lost faith. People born into a family anchored in Christendom tend to assume they're right with God, regardless of whether they personally turn from sin and trust in Jesus.
Mark Driscoll

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.
