I am “friends” with John Piper and Desiring God on Facebook, and I get a steady stream of short quotes that are well worth sharing. If you are on FB and want to “friend” these two pages, see links below. Either way, here are some good quotes to ponder:
About God
John Piper: The purpose of the knowledge of God is the enjoyment of God.
J.I. Packer: What is the eternal life that Jesus gives? Knowledge of God.
Robert Murray M’Cheyne: Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.
About Creation
DA Carson: God made everything that is non-God. This introduces an irreducible distinction between Creator and creature.
DA Carson: The first responsibility of human beings is to acknowledge our creatureliness.
Thomas Manton: If we could make ourselves, then we could live for ourselves.
