Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.

Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.

You get one pass at life. That’s all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ.

Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.

I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.

The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.

Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the Word withers. And when the ministry of the Word declines, faith (Rom. 10:17; Gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (John 17:17) decline. Activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. Therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
