Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.

More quotes by D. A. Carson
Damn all false dichotomies to hell
D. A. Carson
We treat the Bible, not as if it's a magic book that has to be handled like a piece of abracadabra, make sure it's dusted, never put it on the floor, and things like that.
D. A. Carson
The Bible is not interested in precisionism unless the context indicates that precision is particularly important.
D. A. Carson
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.
D. A. Carson
The Christian's whole desire, at its best and highest, is that Jesus Christ be praised. It is always a wretched bastardization of our goals when we want to win glory for ourselves instead of for him.
D. A. Carson
Most good evangelical Study Bibles have more in common than people sometimes realize. All of them are committed to explaining the Bible to lay readers.
D. A. Carson
It is a cheap zeal that reserves its passions to combat only the sins and temptations of others.
D. A. Carson
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
D. A. Carson
The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.
D. A. Carson
The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.
D. A. Carson
You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
D. A. Carson
The truth of the matter is that inerrancy is simply a way of saying that there are no errors that call into question the truthfulness of Scripture wherever Scripture is making truth claims.
D. A. Carson
There is no sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.
D. A. Carson
Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.
D. A. Carson
We are lost when human opinion means more to us than God’s.
D. A. Carson
Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.
D. A. Carson
The Bible does not tell us that life in this world will be fair. Evil and sin are not Victorian gentlemen they do not play fair.
D. A. Carson
To worship God 'in spirit and in truth' is first and foremost a way of saying that we must worship God by means of Christ. In him the reality has dawned and the shadows are being swept away (Hebrews 8:13). Christian worship is new covenant worship it is gospel-inspired worship it is Christ-centered worship it is cross-focused worship.
D. A. Carson
All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.
D. A. Carson
Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.
D. A. Carson
