Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.

Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God. Believing, then, is directing the hearts' attention to Jesus. It is lifting the mind to 'behold the Lamb of God,' and never ceasing that beholding for the rest of our lives.

May God grant us a desire for God that supersedes all other desires.

We know how God would act if he were in our place - he has been in our place.

Before the Christian Church goes into eclipse anywhere there must first be a corrupting of her simple basic theology. She simply gets a wrong answer to the question, ‘What is God like?’ and goes on from there. Though she may continue to cling to a sound nominal creed, her practical working creed has become false. The masses of her adherents come to believe that God is different from what He actually is; and that is heresy of the most insidious and deadly kind

I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.

Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
