God has made us to be conduits of his grace. The danger is in thinking the conduit should be lined with gold. It shouldn't. Copper will do.

All heroes are shadows of Christ

The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is

The gospel is the good news that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.

The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.

Every criticism or slight against you, warranted or not, received or endured humbly, is written in heaven for your reward.
