“The pursuit of a mature life, a life that can bear the weight of image bearing, is in many ways the continual accumulating of more and more secret disciplines, until we are fully formed in the image of the one who confronted every temptation, every opportunity for the misuse of power, and always and only bore the true image in the midst of it all.”
― Andy Crouch, Playing God: Redeeming the Gift of Power

“To be Christian is to stake our lives on this belief: the only cultural goods that ultimately matter are the ones that love creates.”
― Andy Crouch, Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling

“If there is a constructive way forward for Christians in the midst of our broken but also beautiful cultures, it will require us to recover these two biblical postures of cultivation and creation. And that recovery will involve revisiting the biblical story itself, where we discover that God is more intimately and eternally concerned with culture than we have yet come to believe.”

“If we are known mostly for our ability to poke holes in every human project, we will probably not be known as people who bear the hope and mercy of God.”
