More quotes by Mark Driscoll
Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Mark Driscoll
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
This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.
Mark Driscoll
An animal will conquer others. A Spirit-filled man conquers himself - self-discipline , self-control.
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
I want to live with autonomy. That's the essence of sin.
Mark Driscoll
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.
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
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
Fathers need to be tough and tender...you be tough for your family, be tender with your family. You protect them, and you be a safe place.
Mark Driscoll
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.
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
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
Work like an Arminian, sleep like a Calvinist.
Mark Driscoll
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.
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
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
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
Everyone has something to teach you if you are humble enough to learn.
