More quotes by 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
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?
D. A. Carson
Image
We are lost when human opinion means more to us than God’s.
D. A. Carson
Image
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
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.
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.

Image
A billion years or so into eternity, how many toys we accumulated during this life will not seem too terribly important.
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.

Damn all false dichotomies to hell
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
What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.
D. A. Carson
Image
The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.
D. A. Carson
Image
One cannot fail to observe a crushing irony: the gospel of relativistic tolerance is perhaps the most “evangelistic” movement in Western culture at the moment, demanding assent and brooking no rivals.
D. A. Carson
Image
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape 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
It is a cheap zeal that reserves its passions to combat only the sins and temptations of others.
D. A. Carson
Image
There is no long-range effective teaching of the Bible that is not accompanied by long hours of ongoing study of the Bible.

Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
