Put your ear to the ground of God's word and listen to the rumble of His faithfulness coming.

This is the centre of the gospel - this is what the Garden of Gethsemane and Good Friday are all about - that God has done astonishing and costly things to draw us near.

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

He has made me wary of chronological snobbery. That is, he showed me that newness is no virtue and oldness is no vice. Truth and beauty and goodness are not determined by when they exist. Nothing is inferior for being old, and nothing is valuable for being modern. This has freed me from the tyranny of novelty and opened for me the wisdom of the ages.

We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.

The main reason God has given us minds is that we might seek out and find all the reasons that exist for treasuring him in all things and above all things.

To love God passionately is to love truth passionately.
