If there's anything in life that we should be passionate about, it's the gospel. And I don't mean passionate only about sharing it with others. I mean passionate about thinking about it, dwelling on it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world. Only one thing can be of first importance to each of us. And only the gospel ought to be.

All gifts from God are intended to direct our attention to God and create fresh affection for God.

Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness.

Never be content with your current grasp of the gospel.

Your greatest need is not a spouse. Your greatest need is to be delivered from the wrath of God - and that has already been accomplished for you through the death and resurrection of Christ. So why doubt that God will provide a much, much lesser need? Trust His sovereignty, trust His wisdom, trust His love.

Effective teaching involves explaining to our children what they're already observing in our lives by example.

Read, but not to remember everything. Read because that 1% that you remember has the potential to change your life.
