God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God.

Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.

All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.

God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.

The engagement of the heart in worship is the coming alive of the feelings and emotions and affections of the heart. Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.

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

I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
