There is nothing more unloving than to be silent in the face of lies that will ruin another person.Dug Down Deep (221)
We're either building our life on the reality of what God is truly like and what he's about, or we're basing our life on our own imagination and misconceptions. We're all theologians. The question is whether we will be good theologians or bad theologians, whether what we know about God is true or false.Dug Down Deep
the Lord usually adapts means to ends, from which the plain lesson is, that we shall be likely to accomplish most when we are in the best spiritual condition; or in other words, we shall usually do our Lord's work best when our gifts and graces are in good order, and we shall do worst when they are most out of trim.

How can we claim to know and love Jesus and yet be indifferent toward his bride, his temple, his family, his own body? Can I say that I love Jesus but hate the wife he cherishes? Can I say I enjoy spending time with him but refuse to enter his house? Can I claim friendship with Jesus but think his body is repulsive? It's not possible.Dug Down Deep (198)
Every day of faith is a day of the supernatural work of the Spirit in our lives. Every time we're filled with love for God, every time we become aware of how glorious Jesus is, every time ewe read God's Word and understand and believe it, every time we choose to obey God and turn away from sin, every time we selflessly use our abilities to serve others-the Holy Spirit is powerfully working in us.Dug Down Deep (187)
The doctrine of Scripture teaches us about the authority of God's Word. Scripture must be the final rule of faith and practice for our lives. Not our feelings or emotions. Not signs or prophetic words or hunches.Dug Down Deep (65)
Then Piper asked what the basic riddle of the universe really is. Is it the question, why is there suffering in the world? No, said Piper, not for the person with a biblical mind-set. The question for this God-centered person is, why is there any goodness for a sinner like me? How can God-a holy and righteous God-pass over the sins of man?Dug Down Deep (47)
God's love is perceived as amazing only when we realize that the one thing we truly deserve from him is righteous wrath and eternal punishment for our disobedience and disloyalty.Dug Down Deep (46)
God's attributes are not merely a list of facts and features. They are truths that inform belief and inspire faith.Dug Down Deep (44)
