Food for Thought

"The whole life of the good Christian is a holy longing. What you desire ardently, as yet you do not see." -Augustine

"Hope, in its properly Christian sense, means a sure and confident expectation that what has been promised to us will finally blossom in all its wonderful glory." -Alister McGrath

"We are 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 a greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self." -John Piper

"In the gospel, we see and savor the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. And this kind of 'seeing' is the healing of our disordered lives." -John Piper
