C.S. Lewis
“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”
C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

Jerry Bridges
“Second, not only does the gospel prepare me to face my sin, it also frees me up to do so. Facing our sin causes us to feel guilty. Of course we feel guilty because we are guilty. And if I believe, consciously or unconsciously, that God still counts my guilt against me, my instinctive sense of self-protection forbids me to acknowledge my sin and guilt, or, at the least, I seek to minimize it. But we cannot begin to deal with a particular manifestation of sin, such as anger or self-pity, until we first openly acknowledge its presence and activity in our lives. So I need the assurance that my sin is forgiven before I can even acknowledge it, let alone begin to deal with it.”
Jerry Bridges, Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate

Matt Chandler
“You have no shot at experiencing real change in life if you’re habitually protecting your image, hyping your spiritual brand, and putting out the vibe that you’re a lot more unfazed by temptation than the reality you know and live would suggest.”
Matt Chandler, Recovering Redemption: A Gospel Saturated Perspective on How to Change

Donald S. Whitney
“Consistent, father-led family worship is one of the best, steadiest, and most easily measurable ways to bring up children in the Lord’s “discipline and instruction.”
Donald S. Whitney, Family Worship

Donald S. Whitney
“We could summarize the views of our Christian heroes across the centuries with a sentence from Jonathan Edwards: “Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.”
Donald S. Whitney, Family Worship
