Don’t think you need more knowledge. Often you need more obedience to the knowledge you already have.

Everyone with a lock on their front door is at least a 1 point Calvinist.
There’s something about baptism videos. There’s something about being emerged in the baptismal waters and rising up, declaring the newness of life in Christ Jesus.
This video of baptisms at Mars Hill, on Easter sunday, does such an awesome job of capturing that.
Pastor Mark and Grace answer this question during a live Q&A. Just because you’re single doesn’t mean you can’t be loving your wife right now—even if you’re still waiting to meet her. One practical idea? Write letters to your future wife in a journal to let her know how you’re growing, how you’re praying for her, verses you’re meditating on, etc. and then give them to her when you get married.
“Guys, it’s good to be journaling for your wife someday, praying for her, as Scripture comes to mind, and then using that as a way to have affection and devotion, even though you may have not met her yet.” - Mark Driscoll
Question: The gospel is our greatest treasure. It sparkles like a diamond. Which facet is sparkling most to you these days?
MacDonald: The imputed righteousness of Christ. I’m not getting a report card. I’ve already got straight A’s. The imputed righteousness of Christ is a gift that cannot be imagined.
Driscoll: I’ve been thinking a lot about expiation. Not only are we forgiven in Christ, but we are made clean. For me, I always felt forgiven, but always dirty, damaged, and defiled. But Christ sees us as clean. God’s people get to wear white.
Jakes: For me, it is knowing that we have a God that suffers with you. There is a fellowship in the suffering. We do not go through our struggles alone. I find that many people will experience the fellowship of success, but they don’t know that some degree of sorrow will come. We have a Suffering Savior. I never suffer alone.
Great discussion panel featuring RC Sproul, Mark Driscoll, Tullian Tchividjian, and Matt Chandler…
THIS.
“In Reformed Theology, its like the cage phase. It’s like puberty, you just have to go through it and you should be put in a cage for a while.” -Mark Driscoll [discussing about young, arrogant Calvinists] LOL.
Man i love these guys lol
I love how, although some of these guys share different perspectives on certain doctrine, they can still come together and discuss theology as civil human beings & in the end, Christ is exalted.
