"But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling
block and to the Gentiles foolishness but to those who are called, both
Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."

"The person who loves his life will lose it: it
could not be otherwise, for to love one's life is a fundamental denial
of God's sovereignty, of God's rights, and a brazen elevation of self
to the apogee of one's perception, and therefore an idolatrous focus on
self, which is the heart of all sin."
- John Piper
