“We're a tragic mix of imago dei and total depravity. Holding this tension rescues you from utopianism and hedonism, nihilism and cynicism. If you want to treat humans well, you must understand what we humans are. And what we are all, right now, is a mashup of these twin natures. The best person you know is a seat of depravity. The worst person you know is an image-bearer of our Creator.”

“If anxiety is what unbelief feels like, then restful peace is the inheritance of those who trust Jesus.”

“And we express the glory of God as we experience relationship with God. We won’t declare him if we do not know him. But if we never have any time to enjoy being with him—if we’re never resting with him—then what have we to express to the world? “Come meet Jesus! I barely have time to be with him, but trust me, he’s great.”

“Rest is not a religious action item to be added to a list. It isn’t a duty to be performed; it’s a delight to be enjoyed.”
