D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?”
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures

“Religion consists very much in giving God that place in our view and feelings which he actually fills in the universe.”
Edward Payson

Michael Reeves
“Such are the problems with nontriune gods and creation. Single-person gods, having spent eternity alone, are inevitably self-centered beings, and so it becomes hard to see why they would ever cause anything else to exist. Wouldn’t the existence of a universe be an irritating distraction for the god whose greatest pleasure is looking in a mirror? Creating just looks like a deeply unnatural thing for such a god to do. And if such gods do create, they always seem to do so out of an essential neediness or desire to use what they create merely for their own self-gratification. God’s Ecstasy Everything changes when it comes to the Father, Son and Spirit. Here is a God who is not essentially lonely, but who has been loving for all eternity as the Father has loved the Son in the Spirit. Loving others is not a strange or novel thing for this God at all; it is at the root of who he is.”
Michael Reeves, Delighting in the Trinity: An Introduction to the Christian Faith

Michael Reeves
“Indeed, in the triune God is the love behind all love, the life behind all life, the music behind all music, the beauty behind all beauty and the joy behind all joy.”
Michael Reeves, Delighting in the Trinity: An Introduction to the Christian Faith

Randy Alcorn
“The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven; the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell. For Christians, this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven.”
Randy Alcorn, Heaven: A Comprehensive Guide to Everything the Bible Says About Our Eternal Home
