Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.

History is a conveyor belt of corpses because of Adam's sin.

The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.

Seek to see and feel the gospel as bigger as years go by rather than smaller. Never let the gospel get smaller in your heart.

God's global aim in creation and redemption is not only the glory of his name, but also the gladness of the peoples.

If grace is to be free - which is the very meaning of grace - we cannot view it as something to be repaid.

Husbands are not Christ. But they are called to be like him. And the specific point of likeness is the husband's readiness to suffer for his wife's good without threatening or abusing her. This includes suffering to protect her from any outside forces that would harm her, as well as suffering disappointments of abuses even from her. This kind of love is possible because Christ died for both husband and wife. Their sins are forgiven. Neither needs to make the other suffer for sins. Christ has borne that suffering. Now as two sinful and forgiven people we can return good for evil.
