Quotes from Recent Reading

Here are a couple of powerful quotes from my reading recently; the first comes from David Platt's Radical, and the second from Mark Batterson's Wild Goose Chase.

"We have taken the infinitely glorious Son of God, who endured the infinitely terrible wrath of God and who now reigns as the infinitely worthy Lord of all, and we have reduced him to a poor, puny Savior who is just begging for us to accept him." - Platt, p.37

"Some of us live as if we expect to hear God say, 'Well thought, good and faithful servant!' or 'Well said, good and faithful servant!' God isn't going to say either of those things. There is only one commendation, and it is the by-product of pursuing God-ordained passions: 'Well done, good and faithful servant!'" - Batterson, p. 29
