Quote by John Piper

“I have learned, for instance, that anxiety is a condition of the heart that gives rise to many other sinful states of mind. Think for a moment how many different sinful actions and attitudes come from anxiety. Anxiety about finances can give rise to coveting and greed and hoarding and stealing. Anxiety about succeeding at some task can make you irritable and abrupt and surly. Anxiety about relationships can make you withdrawn and indifferent and uncaring about other people. Anxiety about how someone will respond to you can make you cover over the truth and lie about things. So if anxiety could be conquered, a mortal blow would be struck to many other sins.”

“Brethren, be mindful of the truth that the deliberate act of sinning, will eventually take us to the point of no return and that is the tragedy of all. Hardened and stiff-necked in sin, we grow cold to all rebuke and discipline. The gentle whisper of the LORD will be gone. The repeated grieving of the Spirit will result in the quenching of the Spirit. Therefore, any desire to seek the Father’s Home is lost! Beware!! Watch your steps!!!”

“How can a sane man go against the LORD? whose gentleness is described like this, “I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them” (Hosea 11: 4, ESV). Tragically, hard-hearted, close-eared, blind-eyed, dumb-mouthed, stiff-necked people are still there acting ‘smart,’ not knowing that their end is near.”

“I know what you're thinking. You explain theology to me, what you profess to believe, then you behave as if you believe something entirely different," She shook her head until auburn waves of hair flew. "You--" "It's not that simple. There are consequences to--" "But it is that simple. You're forgiven, Matt. Go and sin no more. After two thousand years, that's still His command, and it's the only advice He has for you. When we start talking to the police, you're going to have some really difficult decisions to make. Make them in light of being forgiven, in light of the fact that you're going to do what's right from this point forward. Tell them the truth, but don't shut me out.”

“He kissed me. And it was the most Oliver kiss. His hands cupping my face gently to draw me to him, and his lips covering mine with a deliberate care that was its own kind of passion. The way you'd eat a really expensive chocolate... savoring it because you knew you might never get another. He smelled of familiarity, of homecoming. and of the night I'd spent wrapped in his arms. And he made me feel so ...fucking precious. I wasn't sure I could bear it.”
