Gratitude is the joy that arises in response to God’s good will toward us in all his gifts.

God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God.

It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.

Bitterness about your parents’ brokenness will kill you. Be the grace-filled end of generational sin in your family.

I see no thread running through my work; I simply get on with my life and my painting.

The way of the cross is the way of suffering. Christians are called to die, not kill, in order to show the world how they are loved by Christ.

Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
