Ask Pastor Mark: Why Are We Drawn to God’s Creation?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 7:22 pm   By Mark Driscoll

Last year, Grace and I took our five kids to the Grand Canyon for a special, memorable family trip. We had never been before and all looked forward to seeing one of the great wonders of the world. Enjoying God’s Creation on such a massive scale reminded me of the gift that life on this planet truly is. According to the Scriptures, creation is a gift from a loving Creator God. From the bodies we inhabit, the air we breathe,... Read more

If God is Good, Why Is There Evil? Honest to God: Part 1

Last updated on: November 6, 2017 at 11:19 am   By Mark Driscoll

Perhaps no book of the Bible captures the current cultural mood of the world as painfully and perfectly as the ancient book of Habakkuk. Rarely preached on, often overlooked, and brief in length, it is the painful plea from a broken man to God. He opens his dialogue by asking “why” there is evil and “how long” it will last. Anytime you turn on talk radio, the same thing happens call after call and day after day. People call in... Read more

What Should Christians Think about Satan, Demons, and Zombies?

Last updated on: December 5, 2017 at 2:55 pm   By Mark Driscoll

What holiday has blood, spider webs, witches, demons, black cats, haunted houses, vampires, coffins, and zombies? Halloween. Halloween is a most peculiar holiday. When else do we decorate our homes with the specific intent of scaring young children? When else do parents encourage their children to go to the homes of total strangers, ask for candy, and eat it? When else do we dress up as zombies, witches, and vampires? Halloween has become one of the biggest holidays in America... Read more

The Spirit-Filled Life of Jesus Christ (Day 3): The Holy Spirit

Last updated on: October 20, 2017 at 9:48 am   By Mark Driscoll

One day, as I was walking through a grocery store, I felt like my mind was going to explode. It was around the Christmas season, and over the store speakers the old holiday favorite “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” was playing. As people were trying to figure out which cereal to put in their cart, which tortilla chips could scoop the most guacamole without breaking, and which scent they wanted their bathroom to smell like, the truth of God coming as... Read more

Ask Pastor Mark: How Do You Stay Best Friends in Your Marriage?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 7:20 pm   By Mark Driscoll

The couple were devout Christians and virgins when they first met. Forty years later, the pain of their marriage showed on their faces. As they spoke to me of their troubles during our pastoral counseling session in my office, they each hung their heads in loneliness and grief. There had been no adultery. There had been no divorce. But there had been no friendship. Although they did a lot of work together, they hadn’t had much fun. With their children... Read more
