Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered

One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.

In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).

Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.

What could be a greater privilege than to listen to the voice of God, and be granted by God himself the ears to hear?

The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.

When I pray for revival I pray first for the most radical thing: The utter devotion and allegiance of your hearts to Christ. That you would love Him so deeply and long for Him so passionately that His coming would be your great hope, and death would be gain, and life would be for Christ and His kingdom.
