There is no disease, no addiction, no demon, no bad habit, no fault, no vice, no weakness, no temper, no moodiness, no pride, no self-pity, no strife, no jealousy, no perversion, no greed, no laziness that Christ will not overcome as the enemy of his honor.
And the encouragement in that promise is that when you set yourself to do battle with the enemies of your faith and your holiness, you will not fight alone.
- John Piper, He Must Reign
"God created us to know him and love him and show him. And then he gave us a hint of what he is like: the universe."
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
"God writes a lot of comedy ... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny."
"The Bible makes it clear that every time that there is a story of faith, it is completely original. God's creative genius is endless."
"When in doubt, look intelligent."
"When we sin and mess up our lives, we find that God doesn't go off and leave us - he enters into our trouble and saves us."
