The Death of Porn Quotes

“You and I have a problem: evil. Man, I hate that. But it’s real. We’re not good men who mess up now and then. We are bad men who prove it every day. What’s more, this grim assessment is equally true of everyone: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). We’re all like Jason Bourne. We’re trying to figure out who we are. But the more we discover, the less we like what we find. Think of it this way. If evil were the color yellow, like police tape at a crime scene, then everything about us, all the time, at all levels, would show some shade of yellow. Even our “good moments” glow yellowish—far from the radiance God created us for.”

“Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Eres un pecador, un gran y desesperado pecador; ven ahora, como el pecador que eres, al Dios que te ama. Él te quiere como eres; Él no quiere nada de ti, ni un sacrificio ni una obra; Él te quiere solo a ti.”

“Nuestro Rey vivió por nosotros la vida de realeza que debimos haber vivido y murió por nosotros la muerte vergonzosa que debimos haber muerto.”

“In this letter, I want to paint the picture of that new brotherhood. I’m not talking about “accountability,” as some men practice it. Accountability can be coercive, bossy, impatient, shaming, and clumsy. I hate that. Neither am I talking about any formulaic method for improving ourselves and saving the world. Real progress is not simple or automatic. What helps one guy might not help another guy. But Jesus offers wisdom from God to empower all men, whoever they are. In other words, “Help and change follow a path, not a script.”

“This world has no idea what you’re really worth. Around here you are, at best, useful. You fit into a market niche or a voting bloc or some other impersonal category, to be manipulated for someone’s selfish agenda.”
