More quotes by Mark Driscoll
Work like an Arminian, sleep like a Calvinist.
Mark Driscoll
Spirituality, without the Holy Spirit, is demonic.
Mark Driscoll
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
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
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
Fear is not always a sin but it always is an opportunity.
Mark Driscoll
Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.
Mark Driscoll
An animal will conquer others. A Spirit-filled man conquers himself - self-discipline , self-control.
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
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
Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
Mark Driscoll
We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.
Mark Driscoll
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
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.
Mark Driscoll
Faith only grows through suffering.
Mark Driscoll
You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.
Mark Driscoll
On the Sabbath day, we are remembering that my relationship with God did not begin with what I've done, it is not sustained by what I do, and it is not guaranteed to the end by my effort or work. I'm saved from beginning to end by Jesus' work.
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
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
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.
