The further you go in the revealed thoughts of God, the clearer you see that God's aim in creating the world was to display the value of his own glory.

We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.

Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.

If you are sufficient for your task, it's too small.

Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.

Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him?

What was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
