In Christ, there is nothing I can do that would make You love me more and nothing I have done that makes You love me less.

Awe combined with intimacy is the essence of Christian worship.

A Christianity that does not have as its primary focus the deepening of passions for God is a false Christianity, no matter how zealously it seeks conversions or how forcefully it advocates righteous behavior.

When something becomes so important to you that it drives your behavior and commands your emotions, you are worshipping it.

Worry springs from not being convinced of a sovereign God's absolute love for you. Worry disappears when you realize that God loves you unfailingly and will let nothing interrupt His plans for your good.

We are changed not by being told what we need to do for God, but by hearing the news about what God has done for us.

My identity and my security are not in my spiritual progress. My identity and my security are in God’s acceptance of me given as a gift in Christ.
