“If we are ever to learn Christian truth, a detached glance is never enough; there must be a concentrated gaze in which we gird up the loins of the mind in a determined effort to see its meaning for us.”

“Paul could, of course, rejoice because of some of his circumstances, but by no means because of all of them. Our circumstances provide an all-too-fickle foundation for profound and lasting joy. But joy in the Lord is able to co-exist with all kinds of situations.”

“Our commitment to Christ always implies a commitment to Christ’s people. To love and care for His brothers is to love and care for Him”

“When we believe and step out in faith to follow Christ, we step into a process in time and space under the tutelage and sovereign direction of God, a process that is meant to pour repeated mercies and graces into our lives, which then make us more and more able to rest everything in Christ and therefore live even more for his glory.”

Guys I’m STRUGGLING with this but abby gave me this as a gift so I feel bad!!!!!

“We can become so careless in our home life that we forgo spiritual disciplines around those we trust. All too often the walls of our homes witness irritabilities and anger and slanderous words and laziness and sensualities that — if the walls could speak - would take our gray hairs down to Sheol.”

The first book club I’m ever in and I failed to read the book, but this is me publicly confessing. So sorry salt church book club - I will do better next round :/
