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

The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
D. A. Carson
Image
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.

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.

There is no sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.

Love the church because Jesus loves it.

Damn all false antitheses to hell, for they generate false gods, they perpetuate idols, they twist and distort our souls, they launch the church into violent pendulum swings who oscillations succeed only in dividing brothers and sisters in Christ

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).

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.

The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming 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
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.

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

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.

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

Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.

The Bible is not interested in precisionism unless the context indicates that precision is particularly important.

When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
