Richard J. Foster Quotes About Desire

• Nada disciplina los deseos desordenados de la carne como el servicio, y nada transforma los deseos de la carne como el servicio oculto. La carne gime contra el servicio, pero grita contra el servicio oculto. Se esfuerza y tira del honor y el reconocimiento. Ideará medios sutiles y religiosamente aceptables para llamar la atención sobre el servicio prestado. Si nos negamos firmemente a ceder a esta lujuria de la carne, la crucificamos. Cada vez que crucificamos la carne, crucificamos nuestro orgullo y arrogancia.

• Love, not anger, brought Jesus to the cross. Golgotha came as a result of God's great desire to forgive, not his reluctance. Jesus knew that by his vicarious suffering he could actually absorb all the evil of humanity and so heal it, forgive it, redeem it.
