More quotes by D. A. Carson
Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.
D. A. Carson
God has disclosed of himself in human words with such magnificent self accommodation to our limitations. Precisely so that we may be his holy people and reverence everything that he says, cherish it, value it, and thus live it out.
D. A. Carson
We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.
D. A. Carson
The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.
D. A. Carson
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.
D. A. Carson
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
D. A. Carson
There is no sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.
D. A. Carson
Damn all false dichotomies to hell
D. A. Carson
You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
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.
D. A. Carson
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.
D. A. Carson
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
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
D. A. Carson
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
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. Carson
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery. Will there also be faith? Yes, if our attention is focused more on the cross, and on the God of the cross, than on the suffering itself.
D. A. Carson
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
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
All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.
D. A. Carson
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
