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

Fear is not always a sin but it always is an opportunity.

God is tolerant in that He asks everyone to repent.

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.

Faith only grows through suffering.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.
Mark Driscoll
Image
The Bible is not a book of principles to live by but rather a Person to live for.
Mark Driscoll
Image
I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
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
A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things
Mark Driscoll
Image
Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.

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

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

A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband's sin, but she may not be helping him either.
