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

My take on tithing in America is that it's a middle-class way of robbing God. Tithing to the church and spending the rest on your family is not a Christian goal. It's a diversion. The real issue is: How shall we use God's trust fund-namely, all we have-for His glory? In a world with so much misery, what lifestyle should we call our people to live? What example are we setting?

God created us with sexual passion so that there would be language to describe what it means to cleave to him in love and what it means to turn away from him to others.

Our main work is, by the spirit of God, with the Word of God, to portray the glories of God as more beautiful and more satisfying than anything.

Don't wait for a feeling or love in order to share Christ with a stranger. You already love your heavenly Father, and you know that this stranger is created by Him, but separated from Him... so take those first steps in evangelism because you love God. It is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for God.

Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?

For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
