Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.

The gospel of God and the love of God are expressed finally and fully in God's gift of himself for our everlasting pleasure. "In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

The Christian life becomes impossible. That is, it becomes supernatural.

Don't ever think that the sin of your past means there is no hope for your future.

If you must choose between loving someone and acting so that they feel loved, always choose to love them.

The rich fruit of spontaneity grows in the garden that is well tended by the discipline of schedule.

We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
