Answers to 9 Questions About the Devil and His Demons: Part 5

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 7:13 pm By Mark Driscoll

I often receive questions about the devil and his demons like this one from Mike, “How does one cleanse or rid their lives of demonic influence? I’ve wondered for a while now if this could be a problem for me? I feel like I’m under spiritual attack.” Many Christians also wonder, and even worry, about whether someone can be demon possessed. For those who aren’t Christian, it’s possible through such things as occult involvement, witchcraft (including Wicca, non-Christian, and pagan... Read more

My oldest is in her second year (1st grade) and our second daughter is in Kindergarten.

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 7:08 pm By Mark Driscoll

God wants you to live in victory and not as a victim of Satan and evil. For this to happen, you need to get to know your enemy so that you can defend yourself accordingly.

Ask Pastor Mark: How Do You Raise Your Kids Right?

Last updated on: October 17, 2017 at 12:15 pm By Mark Driscoll

As a father to five children and a Bible-preaching pastor, I often find certain sections of Scripture incredibly timely and helpful. This was the case not long ago while I was preaching verse-by-verse through the book of Colossians in the New Testament. A direct command is given to children around the middle of the book: “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord” (Colossians 3:20). Here, the command is to younger children still living at home under... Read more
