More quotes by Kevin DeYoung
We take hold of Christ as his words take hold us.
Kevin DeYoung
Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires.
Kevin DeYoung
Keep sharing the good news we have not yet exhausted the number of God's elect.
Kevin DeYoung
The secret of the gospel is that we actually do more when we hear less about all we need to do for God and hear more about all that God has already done for us.
Kevin DeYoung
Busyness kills more Christians than bullets.
Kevin DeYoung
I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.
Kevin DeYoung
Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
Kevin DeYoung
The one indispensable requirement for producing godly, mature Christians is godly, mature Christians.
Kevin DeYoung
Christianity is so much more than getting your doctrine right, but it is not less.
Kevin DeYoung
To start the day without prayer is to suggest the devil is feeble, God is irrelevant, and we can handle things on our own.
Kevin DeYoung
You will not find what you want in the world, only in the Father.
Kevin DeYoung
Sincerity is a Christian virtue, as is honesty about our struggles. But my generation needs to realize that Christianity is more than chic fragility, endless self-revelation, and the coolness that comes with authenticity.
Kevin DeYoung
God did not send a concept, an idea, or a virtue. He sent his Son. Follow the God of love, not love as your god.
Kevin DeYoung
Don't follow those who can talk a big game about their amazing faith in Christ. Follow people who are actually following Christ.
Kevin DeYoung
God's timing is rarely our timing.
Kevin DeYoung
Our God is righteous enough to judge and kind enough to forgive.
Kevin DeYoung
Those trapped in sin will not normally thank you for pointing out the darkness in their lives.
Kevin DeYoung
Grace does not lead us to overlook obedience. Grace compels and empowers us for obedience.
Kevin DeYoung
If you think God has promised this world will be a five-star hotel, you will be miserable as you live through the normal struggles of life. But if you remember that God promised we would be pilgrims and this world may feel more like a desert or even a prison, you might find your life surprisingly happy.
Kevin DeYoung
The richest treasure God has for you are the people in your life. Give thanks and don't take them for granted.
