Vintage Driscoll

I am currently reading Vintage Church and I am constantly reading Driscoll's blog posts and listening to his sermons and other media, so I am honestly not sure where I got these quotes. All I know is that I wrote them down over the past couple of weeks and have his name beside all of them. These are vintage Driscoll.  Enjoy.

When is the last time you have just asked, "God, please fill me with your Spirit. Holy Spirit, I need you to teach me."  You should pray this every time you open the Scriptures, because we all have a proclivity to suppress the truth due to the unrighteousness of our deeds (see Romans 1).

If you wanna be a heretic, just stop preaching repentance, that's all it takes. - Driscoll summarizing J. I. Packer

The importance of the cross to the church is that apart from Jesus' death on it in our place for our sins, the church does not exist and has no good news to tell.  It cannot be overemphasized that where the cross of Jesus is not exalted and proclaimed as the central act in all of history and in our own redemption, THE CHURCH IS NOT PRESENT.

I can imagine the pharisees saying that we who preach in jeans without tucking in our shirts dishonor God.
