Alot of people really liked the quote that Frances used on Sunday. Would it be possible to have it posted on here along with the title/author of the book?
Thanks
“In the biblical view of things, a deeper knowledge of God brings with it massive improvement in other areas: purity, integrity, evangelistic effectiveness, better study of Scripture, improved private and corporate worship, and much more. But if we seek these things without passionately desiring a deeper knowledge of God, we are selfishly running after God’s blessings without running after him. We are even worse than a man who wants his wife’s services—someone to come home to, someone to cook and clean, someone to sleep with—without ever making the effort really to know and love his wife and discover what she wants and needs…”

Eliminate God
The Carson quote reminded me of something I tell my friends: Religion allows you to avoid interacting with God. (I blogged a lectio divina on this.)
