“Maybe you are beginning to sense that if your experience of sin is not all that bitter, and your experience of marriage not all that sweet, maybe your theology is not all that it should be.”
― Dave Harvey, When Sinners Say "I Do": Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage

“Serving in obscurity can do more to shape a future leader than a dozen years of combing evangelicalism for the perfect position.”
― Dave Harvey, Am I Called?: The Summons To Pastoral Ministry

“If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.”
― Dave Harvey, Am I Called?: The Summons To Pastoral Ministry

“Bitterness differs from unbelief merely in the intensity and depth—in the degree—of its rebellion. As my friend Andy Farmer has pointed out, the two are distinguished simply by the difference between can’t and won’t. Unbelief says, “I can’t do this,” while bitterness says, “I won’t do this.” Unbelief tells a spouse, “You can’t change,” and bitterness declares, “You won’t change.” Unbelief claims, “God can’t affect what I like and dislike”; while bitterness says, “God won’t affect them.”
