Image
The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.
D. A. Carson
Image
We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.
D. A. Carson
Image
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
Image
Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.
D. A. Carson
Image
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
D. A. Carson
Image
Damn all false dichotomies to hell
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.

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.

Image
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
Image
The New Testament writers did not invent a doctrine of Scripture they inherited it.

Image
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.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
