If it is hard to accept a rebuke, even a private one, it is harder still to administer one in loving humility.
D. A. CarsonThe place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
D. A. CarsonWe do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.
D. A. CarsonDraw nigh to God, so that you may dread the grave as little as your bed. Draw nigh to God, that you may live a happy and useful life. Drawing nigh to God is the most concentrated energy of the soul. Effective prayer is the fruit of a relationship with God, not a technique for acquiring blessings.
