Book cover for Reading Revelation in Context: John's Apocalypse and Second Temple Judaism
the Roman Empire in Asia Minor offered Christians the opportunity to assimilate into imperial culture and look to the pax romana as their source of peace and prosperity, an assimilation John sees as incompatible with allegiance to Christ.

John      Piper
“If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.”
John Piper, A Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting And Prayer

Matt Perman
“at your job, if you haven’t mastered the skills of your job or aren’t seeking to do so, you aren’t serving your employer and coworkers as well as you should. You might even be making the work of others harder. Mediocre work is not Christian! We are to love our neighbor as ourselves”
Matt Perman, What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done

John      Piper
“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him”
John Piper

Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
“The obvious difference between Paul and us is that Paul bragged about his weakness, and we try to hide it.”
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus

C.S. Lewis
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
