If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.

James says, "You desire and do not have; so you kill" (Jas. 4:2). We kill marriages and we kill unborn babies because they cut across our desires; they stand in the way of our unencumbered self-enhancement. And we live in a culture where self-enhancement and self-advancement is god. And if self-enhancement is god, then the One who is at work in the womb shaping a person in His own image is not God and the assault on His work is not sacrilegious, but obedience to the god of self.

I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.

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

The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.

No one will be able to rise to the magnificence of the missionary cause who does not feel the magnificence of Christ.

God created me—and you—to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion—namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.
