In any Christian view of life, self-fulfillment must never be permitted to become the controlling issue. The issue is service, the service of real people. The question is, 'How can I be most useful?', not, 'How can I feel most useful?'
D. A. Carson

The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.
D. A. Carson
Image
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

We are lost when human opinion means more to us than God’s.

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

When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
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
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
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
...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
Image
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. Carson
Image
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
D. A. Carson
Image
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
Image
Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.
D. A. Carson
Image
The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.

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

Damn all false dichotomies to hell
