More quotes by 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
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
Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.
D. A. Carson
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. Carson
Not all Scripture is propositional, some of it is asking questions, some of it's rhetorical, but where Scripture is stating something, asserting something, making a truth claim, uttering a proposition that is claiming to be true, it is the truth.
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
The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
D. A. Carson
The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.
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
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
D. A. Carson
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
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
A weak understanding of what the Bible says about sin is tied to a weak understanding of what the Bible says is achieved by the cross.
D. A. Carson
God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
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
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
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
Some forms of absolutism are not bad they may even be heroic.
D. A. Carson
