Mark Driscoll Quotations

Jesus, could you please rapture the charismaniac lady who brings her tambourine to church?

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.

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.

A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.

An animal will conquer others. A Spirit-filled man conquers himself - self-discipline , self-control.

Faith is not just what we believe internally. It's how we behave externally.

Faith only grows through suffering.

Everything may not be OK but if God is with you, you will be OK.

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

Fear in the mind causes stress in the body.
