“El concepto central del arrepentimiento en el Antiguo Testamento puede condensarse en una palabra: conversión. Esta palabra se escucha frecuentemente en la jerga cristiana de hoy, y es el punto focal del llamado profético al arrepentimiento. Nadie nace biológicamente cristiano. Para hacerse cristiano, tiene que ocurrir algo a través de lo cual la persona es radicalmente transformada. Esto está vinculado con el concepto bíblico de metanoia, aquel cambio de mentalidad que no es el mero ajuste intelectual de un concepto, sino el vuelco de la vida en su totalidad.”
― R.C. Sproul, ¿Qué es el arrepentimiento?

“«Dios susurra y habla a la conciencia a través del placer, pero le grita mediante el dolor: el dolor es su megáfono para despertar a un mundo adormecido» C.S. Lewis, El problema del dolor”

“If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already — it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on.”

“Moralistic, therapeutic deism is fine with sin hiding in a foxhole. The gospel wants to nuke the hole.”
