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.

More quotes by Mark Driscoll
Work like an Arminian, sleep like a Calvinist.
Mark Driscoll
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
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
This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.
Mark Driscoll
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
Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.
Mark Driscoll
Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.
Mark Driscoll
Fear is not always a sin but it always is an opportunity.
Mark Driscoll
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
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
Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.
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
God picked a junior high girl [to be Jesus' mother]. Jesus was raised by a woman who today, we wouldn't even let her lead a bible study at a high school. But she could raise God.
Mark Driscoll
I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
Mark Driscoll
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.
Mark Driscoll
You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.
Mark Driscoll
God is tolerant in that He asks everyone to repent.
Mark Driscoll
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
There are some women who are a good time and there are some women who are a good legacy.
