More quotes by 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
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
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
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 sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.
D. A. Carson
Image
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
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
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
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
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
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.
D. A. Carson
Image
Damn all false dichotomies to hell
D. A. Carson
Image
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
D. A. Carson
Image
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
D. A. Carson
Image
The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned. Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth. In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).
D. A. Carson
Image
The Bible is not interested in precisionism unless the context indicates that precision is particularly important.
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
All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.
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.
D. A. Carson
Image
The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
