We need to pay attention to the questions non-Christians are asking, and the conversations that Christians are having.
Mark DriscollEveryone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin. You're just a conformist if you're drunk; and naked; driving around in a loud motorcycle; smoking cigarrettes; breaking commandments; getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that. That's so tired!
Mark DriscollWhile this may look loving, when we struggle with an idol of dependence, weโre in fact not loving people as much as weโre using them to fulfill our need to belong, be liked, and be desired. This explains why some friends and family members can be so demanding, smothering, and needy. It also explains why weโre so easily inflated by praise and deflated by criticism. Itโs as if others have the ability to determine our identity for that day based on a word or even a glance
