It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.

Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables

God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?

If I had only one more sermon to preach before I died, it would be about my Lord Jesus Christ. And I think that when we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of him.

If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.

All places are places of worship to a Christian.

Don't let your hopes or fears come between you and Jesus; follow hard after Him. He will never fail you.
