"One of the reasons that today in the Western church our joy is so fragile and thin is that the truth is so little understood--the truth, namely, that eternal life is laid hold of only by a persevering fight for the joy of faith. Joy will not be rugged and durable and deep through suffering where there is not resolve to fight for it."
John Piper, When I Don't Desire God, p.37
These are various quotes that I have come across or read or heard that have impacted my life or inspired me in some way. Please note that I do not endorse or support everything that is quoted (as a few quotes are secular, or are missing context, or are just unsound biblically/theologically), but they all have provoked some thought or impacted me in some way! Hope you enjoy!
