More quotes by D. A. Carson
It is a cheap zeal that reserves its passions to combat only the sins and temptations of others.
D. A. Carson
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
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
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
You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
D. A. Carson
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.
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
The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
D. A. Carson
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
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
You get into theological education and you're busy marking papers and getting into administration in raising funds and doing all the things that are part of life, but here we were talking about important theological, historical, gospel related, biblically centered things hour after hour after hour.
D. A. Carson
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.
D. A. Carson
...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
We treat the Bible, not as if it's a magic book that has to be handled like a piece of abracadabra, make sure it's dusted, never put it on the floor, and things like that.
D. A. Carson
Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.
D. A. Carson
What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.
D. A. Carson
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
There is no long-range effective teaching of the Bible that is not accompanied by long hours of ongoing study of the Bible.
D. A. Carson
Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.
D. A. Carson
Ordinary Bibles often include cross-references and brief concordances Study Bibles include much more, all bound up in one fat volume, so that readers can find a lot of useful explanation on each page without having to hunt through Bible dictionaries and commentaries and the like.
D. A. Carson
