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.

Sanctification is a community project.

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

Great waves, and blaze with fire like them.In beauty, but do not condemn,The seamen who embark and fail,But only those who will not sail.

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

The ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.

What could be a greater privilege than to listen to the voice of God, and be granted by God himself the ears to hear?
