“There is a mean, violet streak in the true Christian life. But violence against whom, or what? Not other people. It’s violence against all the impulses in us that would be violent to other people. It’s a violence against all the impulses in our own selves that would make peace with our own sin and settle in with a peacetime mentality. It’s violence against all lust in ourselves, and enslaving desires for food or alcohol or pornography or money or the praise of men and the approval of others or power or fame. It’s violence against the impulses in our own soul towards racism and sluggish indifference to injustice and poverty and abortion. Christianity is not a settle--and-live-at-peace-with-this-world-the-way-it-is kind of religion. Christianity is war – on our own sinful impulses.”
– John Piper
“For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.” Romans 8:13
