There are two basic restrictions on marriage in the Bible: Number one, she should marry a man. Number two, he should be a Christian.
John PiperWhen all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John PiperThe wisdom of God devised a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God while not compromising the righteousness of God.
John PiperThe ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.
John PiperFight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.
