Worship is basically adoration, and we adore only what delights us. There is no such thing as sad adoration or unhappy praise.

The great barrier to worship among God's people is not that we are always seeking our own satisfaction, but that our seeking is so weak and half-hearted that we settle for little sips at broken cisterns when the fountain of life is just over the next hill.

In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.

The Great Commission will not get done if we’re not ready to risk our lives and the lives of our family.

God created me—and you—to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion—namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.

Be glad in the Lord and receive willingly from His Hand all that he designs for my holiness - both painful and pleasant.

But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life.
