“One of our biggest problems is that a lot of Christians are being discipled by the nightly news more than they are the Good News.”

‌—Shane Pruitt (tweet, 1/6/24)
“High living very easily masters the senses and blunts the sharp-edged commitment of young Christians.”

‌—Sinclair Ferguson, The Preacher’s Commentary Series: Daniel
