In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).

May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.

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.

Death is like my car. It takes me where I want to go.

I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.

The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.

Little hearts, little souls give little lusts big power. Big hearts give little lusts little power.
