Quotes:
“There is something deeply, deeply distressing about how prone we are to read other things, and watch the television, than we are to read the Bible. We all have exactly the same number of hours in the day. And every choice we make is a matter of priority.” — John Piper

“If the word of God be not very sweet to me, have I an appetite? Solomon says, ‘The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet’ [Prov. 27:7]. Ah, when a soul is full of itself, and of the world, and of the pleasures of sin, I do not wonder that it sees no sweetness in Christ, for it has no appetite!” — Charles Spurgeon
