"If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied, it is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.” ~ John Piper (A hunger for God)

"We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing to the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self." ~John Piper

"There is little any of us truly know. We tend to live within cramped confines which require the One whose expansive Being lifts dead men to life can remedy. ~D. Johnson

"The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory." ~ Gary Zukav

“Life is not a straight line leading from one blessing to the next and then finally to heaven. Life is a winding and troubled road. Switchback after switchback. And the point of biblical stories like Joseph and Job and Esther and Ruth is to help us feel in our bones (not just know in our heads) that God is for us in all these strange turns. God is not just showing up after the trouble and cleaning it up. He is plotting the course and managing the troubles with far-reaching purposes for our good and for the glory of Jesus Christ.” ~ John Piper

"Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally un-lightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God? ~Thomas Allin
