Trials should not surprise us, or cause us to doubt God's faithfulness. Rather, we should actually be glad for them. God sends trials to strengthen our trust in him so that our faith will not fail. Our trials keep us trusting; they burn away our self confidence and drive us to our Savior.

The stairway to the ministry is not a grand staircase but a back stairwell that leads down to the servants’ quarters.

We worship so that we live in response to and from this centre, the living God.

The one who knows and fears the Lord of Hosts need fear no other.

People who do not worship are swept into a vast restlessness, epidemic in the world, with no steady direction and no sustaining purpose.

Never before has the world been so desperately asking for answers to crucial questions, and never before has the world been so frantically committed to the idea that no answers are possible.

Worship is a meeting at the centre so that our lives are centred in God and not lived eccentrically. We worship so that we live in response to and from this centre, the living God.
