Battling Unbelief

John Piper, Battling Unbelief: Defeating Sin with Superior Pleasure (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2026), 151 pp.

In 1995, I read John Piper’s epic work, Future Grace. I was a young pastor, wrestling with theology and the implications of the gospel on the Christian life. That book was life-changing as it shone the spotlight on God’s invincible grace and the necessity of clinging to it as an all-suffic

Quotes by David S. Steele  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When God permits his children to go through the furnace, he keeps his eye on the clock and his hand on the thermostat. If we rebel, he may have to reset the clock; but if we submit, he will not permit us to suffer one minute too long. The important thing is that we learn the lesson he wants to teach us and that we bring glory to him alone.”
David S. Steele, Bold Reformer: Celebrating the Gospel-Centered Convictions of Martin Luther

“We need revival, a reformation of our hearts and minds. We don't need more self-help books, we don't need more welfare programs or feel-good efforts: we need more of Jesus Christ. Our battleground is not marriage, sexuality, sanctity of life, justice, or hunger. Our battleground is the gospel. Jesus is enough.”
David S. Steele, Bold Reformer: Celebrating the Gospel-Centered Convictions of Martin Luther

“But the Word of God should shape our perspective, not circumstances or current events.”
David S. Steele, Bold Reformer: Celebrating the Gospel-Centered Convictions of Martin Luther

“The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by the object of its love.”
Henry Scougal, The Life of God in the Soul of Man

“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”
Abraham Kuyper

“Calvinism is an all-embracing system of principles... It is rooted in a form of religion which was peculiarly its own, and form that specific religious consciousness there was developed first a particular theology, then a special church-order, and then a given form for political and social life.”
Abraham Kuyper, Christianity: Total World And Life System

“We must understand that the local church isn’t a country club or a casual self-help group. It is God’s holy temple, a congregation of redeemed saints and priests who are consecrated to God. It is God’s lighthouse in a dark world. It is “the pillar and support of the truth.”
Alexander Strauch, The New Testament Deacon: The Church's Minister of Mercy

“As government grows beyond its constitutional boundaries, it really does devour freedom.”
W. James Antle, Devouring Freedom: Can Big Government Ever Be Stopped
