The purpose of the Lord's Supper is to receive from Christ the nourishment and strength and hope and joy that come from feasting our souls on all that He purchased for us on the cross, especially His own fellowship.

We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.

God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.

If we cannot claim to live sinless lives, then the only thing that can keep us from despairing before a holy God is that we have an Advocate in heaven and He pleads our case not on the basis of our perfection but of His propitiation.

If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.

I've always wondered, am I a writer who preaches or a preacher who writes? I don't know. I love them both.

I do not appeal to you to screw up your courage and sacrifice for Christ. I appeal to you to renounce all you have to obtain life that satisfies your deepest longings.
