“I am beginning to wonder if we modern followers of Christ are capable of being terrified of God… As a result, we have ended up with a feel-good gospel that attracts thousands… but transforms no one.”
“The nice, nonthreatening God needs to be replaced by the God whose very presence smashes our egos into dust, burns our sin into ashes, and strips us naked to reveal the real person within.”
“If Jesus is the Son of God, we should be terrified of what He will do when He gets His hands on our lives; if the Bible is the Word of God, we should be quaking every time we read its soul-piercing words; if the church is the body of Christ, our culture should be threatened by our intimidating presence.”
These quotes are found in his book, Dangerous Wonder in a chapter called, "Happy Terror".
