We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity

What drives me mad in evangelical circles, including some young Reformed circles, is that there is often a sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-for-God-to-do-something mentality that is unbiblical and wicked. It's probably been true of every generation, but I can see it most clearly in the younger crowd. There seems to be so little war when it comes to sin.

The general confusion is that our moral behavior is what justifies us before God. Most of us would never say that with our mouths but we feel that lie in our heart and believe it in our minds. You can be morally upright and not be a worshipper of Christ at all.

Because a God who is ultimately most focused on his own glory will be about the business of restoring us, who are all broken images of him. His glory demands it. So we should be thankful for a self-sufficient God whose self-regard is glorious.

In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.

Stop going to church everywhere and start belonging to church somewhere.

Trying to figure out God is like trying to catch a fish in the Pacific Ocean with an inch of dental floss.
