Quote

Hell is not filled with people who are deeply sorry for their sins. It is filled with people who for all eternity still shake their puny fist in the face of God Almighty.

The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
D. A. Carson
Image
The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.
D. A. Carson
Image
In any Christian view of life, self-fulfillment must never be permitted to become the controlling issue. The issue is service, the service of real people. The question is, 'How can I be most useful?', not, 'How can I feel most useful?'
D. A. Carson
Image
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
D. A. Carson
Image
The broader problem is that a great deal of popular preaching and teaching uses the bible as a pegboard on which to hang a fair bit of Christianized pop psychology or moralizing encouragement, with very little effort to teach the faithful, from the Bible, the massive doctrines of historic confessional Christianity.

What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.
D. A. Carson
Image
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
D. A. Carson
Image
Not all Scripture is propositional, some of it is asking questions, some of it's rhetorical, but where Scripture is stating something, asserting something, making a truth claim, uttering a proposition that is claiming to be true, it is the truth.

You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
D. A. Carson
Image
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.
D. A. Carson
Image
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.

Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.
D. A. Carson
Image
Draw nigh to God, so that you may dread the grave as little as your bed. Draw nigh to God, that you may live a happy and useful life. Drawing nigh to God is the most concentrated energy of the soul. Effective prayer is the fruit of a relationship with God, not a technique for acquiring blessings.

Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. Carson
Image
To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.
D. A. Carson
Image
We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.
D. A. Carson
Image
A weak understanding of what the Bible says about sin is tied to a weak understanding of what the Bible says is achieved by the cross.

You get into theological education and you're busy marking papers and getting into administration in raising funds and doing all the things that are part of life, but here we were talking about important theological, historical, gospel related, biblically centered things hour after hour after hour.
D. A. Carson
Image
Much praying is not done because we do not plan to pray. We do not drift into spiritual life we do not drift into disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray. That means we must self-consciousl y set aside time to do nothing but pray.

It is a cheap zeal that reserves its passions to combat only the sins and temptations of others.
