“As Paul Tournier said, “Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either.”
― Philip Yancey, Disappointment with God: Three Questions No One Asks Aloud

“Salvation is not just about going to heaven when we die. It’s about becoming like you, Jesus—being transformed into your likeness. Only the resources of the gospel are sufficient for such a task, for we’re not just separated from God by a great distance, we are thoroughly broken and corrupted by sin. We need a big gospel for our great need. Indeed, there’s nothing more than the gospel, there is just more of the gospel.”
― Scotty Smith, Everyday Prayers: 365 Days to a Gospel-Centered Faith

“And you search our hearts to save us, not to shame us; to deliver us, not to demean us; to change us, not to chide us. You know my dignity and my depravity, my fears and my longings, my struggles with sin and my standing in Christ. No one but you knows how little or how much of the gospel I actually get.”
