Book cover for Come, Let Us Adore Him: A Daily Advent Devotional
When we are familiar with things, we tend not to celebrate them as we once did. Familiarity tends to rob us of our wonder. And here’s what’s important about this: what has captured the wonder of our hearts will control the way we live.

“When we look only inward, we are likely to think that we are just as sinful as ever. We are tempted to believe that our sin defines us most deeply. But when we look to Christ, we see the one to whom we are united and our new identity in him.”
Jared Mellinger, Think Again: Relief from the Burden of Introspection

Lynn Painter
“Here’s the thing about kids, lady. They’re stupid with words. They say shit all the time that they don’t mean. They’re wrong, or they’re being emotional little shits—basically you have to understand that what they say isn’t what they mean.’ ”
Lynn Painter, Nothing Like the Movies

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“Preaching has very largely become a profession. Instead of real Christian sermons we are given secondhand expositions of psychology. The preachers say they that give the congregations what they ask for! What a terrible condemnation both of the preachers themselves & their congregations!”
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Ben    Wilson
“All adolescents want to escape from home into the world, not vice versa as adults do. The suburbs naturally mark a front line of conflict between teenagers and parents, a clash of values and aspirations.”
Ben Wilson, Metropolis: A History of the City, Humankind's Greatest Invention

William Gouge
“How is the lack of prosperity a blessing to the righteous? God, in wisdom knowing what is best for them, accordingly deals with them by giving prosperity to them so far as He sees it will turn to their good, and denies it to them so far as He sees it will turn to their hurt. Whenever therefore God gives any temporal blessing to His saints, it is a sign of His favor, and whenever He denies any, the very denial is also a fruit of His favor.”
William Gouge, A Holy Vision for Family Life
