If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.

My joy grows with every soul that seeks the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Remember, you have one life. That’s all. You were made for God. Don’t waste it.

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

Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.

Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.

In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.

Reading is more important to me than eating.
