Excerpts from "When I Don't Desire God
“For there exists a delight that is not given to the wicked, but to those honoring Thee, O God, without desiring recompense, the joy of Thou art Thyself! And this is the blessed life, to rejoice towards thee, for Thy sake.”
Confessions X, 32 Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
The apostle Paul said, “If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed.” (1 Corinthians 16:22)
“Love is not a mere choice to move the body or the brain. Love is to be cherished, not just chosen. The alternative is to be cursed. Therefore life is serious.” John Piper
Heavy stuff, man
