My Paradise: With Christ. Not sinning. No pain. New earth. Precious in that order.

God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.

God made us in His own image so that His image would be shown.

If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.

Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.

Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.

So you can see what is happening in the New Testament. Worship is being significantly deinstitutionalized, delocalized, de-externalized. The whole thrust is being taken off of ceremony and seasons and places and forms and is being shifted to what is happening in the heart - not just on Sunday but every day and all the time in all of life.
