Repentance keeps sin from condemning us because Jesus died and scorned the shame.
Mark Driscoll

This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.

Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.

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.

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.

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

I want to live with autonomy. That's the essence of sin.

...Seattle has unleashed this weird phenomenon on the world called the coffee shop. And the coffee shop, thanks to Starbucks, is the place where socially isolated, lonely, needy people gather together to ignore one another.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
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

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

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

A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.

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.
