"I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God."

~John Piper, Desiring God

"Timely Advice

If you are impatient, sit down quietly and talk with Job.

If you are just a little strongheaded, go and see Moses.

If you are getting weak-kneed, take a good look at Elijah.

If there is no song in your heart, listen to David.

If you are a policy man, read Daniel.

If you are getting sordid, spend a while with Isaiah.

If you feel chilly, get the beloved disciple to put his arm around you.

If your faith is below par, read Paul.

If you are getting lazy, watch James.

If you are losing sight of the future, read all of Revelation."
