More quotes by D. A. Carson
Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.
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
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
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.
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
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
D. A. Carson
The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.
D. A. Carson
Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.
D. A. Carson
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
The broader problem is that a great deal of popular preaching and teaching uses the bible as a pegboard on which to hang a fair bit of Christianized pop psychology or moralizing encouragement, with very little effort to teach the faithful, from the Bible, the massive doctrines of historic confessional Christianity.
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
A billion years or so into eternity, how many toys we accumulated during this life will not seem too terribly important.
D. A. Carson
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.
D. A. Carson
Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.
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
We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.
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
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
There is no sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.
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.
