Quote

How much would our churches be transformed if each of us made it a practice to thank God for others and then to tell those others what it is about them that we thank God for?

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
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
Image
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
D. A. Carson
Image
If you want to see what judgment looks like, go to the cross. If you want to see what love looks like, go to the cross.
D. A. Carson
Image
...sometimes God chooses to bless us and make us people of integrity in the midst of abominable circumstances, rather than change our circumstances.
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.

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.

The Bible is not interested in precisionism unless the context indicates that precision is particularly important.
D. A. Carson
Image
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
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
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
D. A. Carson
Image
So there are all kinds of things that grammarian purists would argue are awkward forms of speech and sometimes they are intentional for rhetorical effect and sometimes it's the way people chose to write at the time. Inerrancy isn't interested in any of those kinds of things.
D. A. Carson
Image
Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.
D. A. Carson
Image
The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.
D. A. Carson
Image
There is no sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.
D. A. Carson
Image
Do you wish to see God's love? Look at the cross. Do you wish to see God's wrath? Look at the cross.
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.
D. A. Carson
Image
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
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
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.
