"Physical tastes like hot fudge vs. caramel are morally neutral. It's not right or wrong to like the one over the other. But having a spiritual taste for the glory of Christ is not morally neutral. Not to have it is evil and deadly. Not to see and savor Christ is an insult to the beauty and worth of his character. Preferring anything above Christ is the very essence of sin. It must be fought."
John Piper, When I Don't Desire God, p.33
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!
