Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Mark Driscoll
Image
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.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.

Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.

Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.

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.

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.

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.

The Bible is not a book of principles to live by but rather a Person to live for.

We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.

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
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.
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.
Mark Driscoll
Image
I have noticed that people tend to stop maturing when they start self-medicating. Everyone has very tough seasons of life, but by persevering through them we have an opportunity to mature and grow as people. Those who self-medicate...often thwart maturity as they escape the tough seasons of life rather than face them.

There are some women who are a good time and there are some women who are a good legacy.

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.

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

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

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