More quotes by Mark Driscoll
Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.
Mark Driscoll
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.
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
Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Mark Driscoll
God is tolerant in that He asks everyone to repent.
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
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
A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.
Mark Driscoll
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.
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
There are some women who are a good time and there are some women who are a good legacy.
Mark Driscoll
Faith only grows through suffering.
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
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
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
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
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
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
You have to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you'll waste all that great material.
Mark Driscoll
