More quotes by D. A. Carson
The New Testament writers did not invent a doctrine of Scripture they inherited it.
D. A. Carson
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
D. A. Carson
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. Carson
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
D. A. Carson
Damn all false dichotomies to hell
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
...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
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
We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to 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
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
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
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
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
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
Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.
D. A. Carson
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
D. A. Carson
There is no sense in which Mohammed is viewed as a writer.
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
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
