Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Mark Driscoll
Image
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
Image
Past: Jesus saved us from the penalty of sin. Present: He saves us from the power of sin. Future: He will save us from the presence of sin.
Mark Driscoll
Image
This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things
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
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
The problem with criticism today is that is instant, constant, global and permanent.
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.
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.
Mark Driscoll
Image
We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.
Mark Driscoll
Image
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
Image
Faith only grows through suffering.
Mark Driscoll
Image
You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Married life can seem as if it's only five days long. The first day you meet, the second day you marry, the third day your raise your children, the fourth day you meet your grandchildren, and the fifth day you die first or bury your spouse to go home alone for the first time in many years.
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
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
Image
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.
