Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, "Now I have another hour to answer for." (Eph. 5:16)

Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.

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

Paradise will not be a hall of mirrors, it will be a display of majesty, and it won't be ours

God's greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of His grace by making sinners happy in Him.

My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

God is love precisely because He relentlessly pursues the praises of His name in the hearts of His people.
