Quotes by John Crowder
John Crowder's insights on:
God is good, not in some abstract, religious definition of the word “good.” Not a “sit still, shut up and say your prayers” good. Not just “good for you” like cough medicine. God is really sweet, yummy to the tummy, delectable and exquisite-taste and see that the Lord is good!
He didn’t just give you a pretty screen saver, ignoring all the viruses, porn and spyware on your hard drive. He wiped the whole hard drive out.
God made you for His pleasure. And He made you intrinsically needy and dependent on His unspeakable joy. If you are struggling with sin our addiction, don’t try to kill your appetite for pleasure. It is impossible. Just direct it to the source of all pleasure. You will be amazed to find that He has perfectly and supernaturally designed you to have all your deepest needs met in Him.
God didn't come to fix anybody. He came to kill them and resurrect them from the dead.
How can we lead the blind, if we are blind ourselves? His wine is coming to blur our vision, so that we can receive His vision.
