Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions

Do all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.

Oh that God would help me waken in you a single passion for a single great reality that would unleash you, and set you free from small dreams, and send you, for the glory of Christ, into all the spheres of secular life and to all the peoples of the earth.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.

Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God.

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?

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.
