If God were not just, there would be no demand for his Son to suffer and die. And if God were not loving, there would be no willingness for his Son to suffer and die. But God is both just and loving. Therefore his love is willing to meet the demands of his justice.

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

It's amazing how many introverts go into the ministry. It's amazing how many people go into the ministry who don't really like to be with people.

We can be content with simplicity because the deepest most satisfying delights God gives us through creation are free gifts from nature and from loving relationships with people. After your basic needs are met, accumulated money begins to diminish your capacity for these pleasures rather than increase them. Buying things contributes absolutely nothing to the heart's capacity for joy.

CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others.

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