Suffering for Jesus is temporary. Pleasure in Jesus is eternal.

If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.

The bloodline of Jesus is thicker, deeper, stronger than the bloodline of race, ethnicity and family.

Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power.

We have a name for those who try to praise when they have no pleasure in the object. We call them hypocrites.

Husbands and wives, recognize that in marriage you have become one flesh. If you live for your private pleasure at the expense of your spouse, you are living against yourself and destroying your joy. But if you devote yourself with all your heart to the holy joy of your spouse, you will also be living for your joy and making a marriage after the image of Christ and His church.

Not going to God because your faith is weak is like not going to the doctor because you feel sick.
