oh boy oh boy oh boy!! here we go!!!

literally can’t put this book down and my sleep and possibly also my grades are suffering as a result 🫣

“As we face the cross, then, we can say to ourselves both, “I did it, my sins sent Him there,” and “He did it, His love took Him there.””

“Prayers without variety eventually become words without meaning.”

Woah

“If church is our family, then the boundary of our physical family life should be porous and flexible rather than fixed and inviolable.”

“If we balk at the idea of singleness being a gift, it is not because God has not understood us but because we have not understood him.”

“Jesus is not just an example of a nonhypocritical teacher. He is the example of the perfect man…He is the most complete and fully human person who ever lived. So his not being married is not incidental. It shows us that none of these things-marriage, romantic fulfillment, sexual experience-is intrinsic to being a full human being. The moment we say otherwise…we imply Jesus himself is only subhuman”

“we don’t need to hustle to prove something God says is already true”

chapter on boredom was SO good.

envy is rooted in impatience / lack of eternal perspective

His distinction between leisure and rest is SO deep. Wow
