Joe Rigney
“My one-year-old walks up to me with arms outstretched. I can see it in his eyes. He is searching for something: approval, affirmation, acceptance. The kind that only a father can give. He is hungry for a father's love, for the Father's love.
Either the laughter in my eyes, the smile on my face, and the strength and tenderness of my arms will tell the truth about God, or their absence will blaspheme the Father of lights.
My son is reaching for me, and looking for God.
My son, the theologian.”
Joe Rigney, The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts

Blaise Pascal
“Those whose wisdom is imaginary enjoy the favor of judges similarly qualified.”
Blaise Pascal

Joe Rigney
“Idolatry begins with a false separation of gift and giver. Rather than a momentary comparison for the sake of testing our affections, idolatry is a permanent separation for the sake of false worship. God divides things in order to gloriously reunite them. Heaven and earth, male and female, Trinitarian glory and its created beams—all of these are separated in order to bring about a more perfect and glorious union. On the other hand, sin just separates. It divides in order to destroy. It tears asunder and leaves the fragments scattered on the ground. The separation of gift from giver ruins our enjoyment of both.”
Joe Rigney, The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts

“What many call 'plundering the Egyptians' is nothing more than dumpster diving in Egypt.”

“A full look at Jesus makes his gifts come alive.”
