D. A. Carson quotes about
prayer worry
Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.
creator-god honor moral
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.
christian jesus jobs
What binds us together is not common education, common race, common income levels, common politics, common nationality, common accents, common jobs, or anything else of that sort. Christians come together because they have all been loved by Jesus himself. They are a band of natural enemies who love one another for Jesus' sake.
wrath wish looks
Do you wish to see God's love? Look at the cross. Do you wish to see God's wrath? Look at the cross.
christian evidence-of-god crosses
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.
humble doe ought
That God normally operates the universe consistently makes science possible; that he does not always do so ought to keep science humble.
proof pretext
A text without a context is a pretext for a proof text.
encouragement teaching effort
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.
waiting disaster persons
A prayerless person is a disaster waiting to happen.
looks want judgment
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.
dirty eye sins-not
Imagination is a God-given gift; but if it is fed dirt by the eye, it will be dirty. All sin, not least sexual sin, begins with the imagination. Therefore what feeds the imagination is of maximum importance in the pursuit of kingdom righteousness.
christian real self
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?'
christian jesus winning
The Christian's whole desire, at its best and highest, is that Jesus Christ be praised. It is always a wretched bastardization of our goals when we want to win glory for ourselves instead of for him.
issues sin individual
Sin defies God, utterly corrupts each individual, corrodes all social relationships, and issues in death.
