Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Solitude is the furnace of transformation. Without solitude we remain victims of our society and continue to be entangled in the illusions of the false self. Jesus himself entered into this furnace. There he was tempted with the three compulsions of the world: to be relevant ('turn stones into loaves'), to be spectacular ('throw yourself down'), and to be powerful ('I will give you all these kingdoms'). There he affirmed God as the only source of his identity ('You must worship the Lord your God and serve him alone'). Solitude is the place of the great struggle and the great encounter - the struggle against the compulsions of the false self, and the encounter with the loving God who offers himself as the substance of the new self.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Way of the Heart: A Study of Contemplative Prayer and Inner Devotion

Louie Giglio
“Heaven will be full of the songs of worshipers who had once been broken people in a broken world, picked up and used for God’s glory.”
Louie Giglio, The Comeback: It's Not Too Late and You're Never Too Far

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“And if we ask how are we to know where our hearts are, the answer is just as simple - everything which hinders us from loving God above all things and acts as a barrier between ourselves and our obedience to Jesus is our treasure, and the place where our heart is.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Rory Noland
“We too need to scour the Bible to learn how God wants to be worshiped. For it doesn’t matter how you and I want to praise God. It’s not ultimately important whether worship makes us feel good or if the music is to our liking. True worship must always be offered on God’s terms, not ours. So we need to learn how God wants to be worshiped.”
Rory Noland, Worship on Earth as It Is in Heaven: Exploring Worship as a Spiritual Discipline

James MacDonald
“To disrespect a person made in the image and likeness of God is a lot worse than desecrating a flag. We should be offended and repulsed in the same way when God's image bearers are desecrated – abused, beaten, neglected, discriminated against, and not loved and taken care of as they should be.”
James MacDonald, Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling: Changing Lives with God's Changeless Truth
