Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions

The wisdom of God devised a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God while not compromising the righteousness of God.

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

Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.

Forgiveness costs us nothing. All our costly obedience is the fruit, not the root, of being forgiven. That's why we call it grace.

Nothing makes God more supreme and more central in worship than when a people are utterly persuaded that nothing - not money or prestige or leisure or family or job or health or sports or toys or friends - nothing is going to bring satisfaction to their sinful, guilty, aching hearts besides God.

We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.
