True religion is when you serve God to get nothing else but more of God.

The gospel has done its work in us when we crave God more than we crave everything else in life - more than money, romance, family, health, fame - and when seeing His kingdom advance in the lives of others gives us more joy than anything we could own. When we see Jesus as greater than anything the world can offer, we'll gladly let everything else go to possess Him.

Getting doctrine right is a matter of life and death, but holding that doctrine in the right spirit is essential too. A great deal of damage is done by those who hold the truth of Christ with the spirit of Satan.

Faith is not the absence of doubt; it is continuing to follow Jesus in the midst of doubt.

Focusing on what we ought to do for God creates only frustration and exhaustion; focusing on what Jesus has done for us produces abundant fruit. Resting in what Jesus has done for us releases the revolutionary power of the gospel.

The goal of the gospel is to produce a type of people consumed with passion for God an love for others.

Satan's primary temptation strategy is to try and make us forget what God has said about us and to evaluate our standing before God by some other criteria
