...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

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.

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.

Damn all false dichotomies to hell

To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.

God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.

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.

We overcome the accuser of our brothers and sisters, we overcome our consciences, we overcome our bad tempers, we overcome our defeats, we overcome our lusts, we overcome our fears, we overcome our pettiness on the basis of the blood of the Lamb.

There is no long-range effective teaching of the Bible that is not accompanied by long hours of ongoing study of the Bible.

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
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.

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
Image
Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.

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
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
The New Testament writers I think conceive of their inspired Scripture writings as flushing out, bringing to articulation, expounding and so on the climactic revelation in the son, but this in self-conscious fulfillment of the promises and covenants that were already made to God's chosen people in Old Testament times.

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

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

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.

Study Bible is the expression used for Bibles that include significant explanatory notes, usually at the bottom of the page, sometimes in the margins. Often a Study Bible will also include some brief articles, photographs of geographical and archaeological sites, fairly extensive maps, and charts that summarize a lot of information.
