“Americans have become like superheroes in reverse: heroes in public, with secret identities of normal people who break down into tears and struggle with money.”
― Ryan G. Frederick, See-Through Marriage: Experiencing the Freedom and Joy of Being Fully Known and Fully Loved

“Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.”
― John Piper

“Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.”

“Books don't change people; paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.”
