As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.

To truly know God we must long for Him without any other motive than reaching God Himself.

Our Lord told His disciples that love and obedience were organically united. The final test of love is obedience.

The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers.

Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.

Nothing is complete in itself but requires something outside itself in order to exist.

Man doesnt have the patience or the power to wait. But God does. He has all eternity to accomplish His purposes.
