Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things.

Love is the overflow of joy in God! It is not duty for duty's sake, or right for right's sake. It is not a resolute abandoning of one's own good with a view solely to the good of the other person. It is first a deeply satisfying experience of the fullness of God's grace, and then a doubly satisfying experience of sharing that grace with another person.

Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered

Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?

Every experience in life is designed to magnify the cross of Christ.

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.

humility is beyond our reach. if it were a product of reaching, we would instinctively be proud of reaching it. it is a gift.
