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.
J. D. GreearBeing converted to Jesus is learning to so adore God that we would gladly renounce everything we have to follow Him.
J. D. GreearGod sometimes answers our prayers by giving us what we would have asked for had we known what He knows.
J. D. GreearTrue religion is when you serve God to get nothing else but more of God. Many people use religion as a way of getting something else from God they want-blessings, rewards, even escape from judgement. This is wearisome to us, and to God. But when God is His own reward, Christianity becomes thrilling. Sacrifice becomes joy.
