We do not smirk at the misery or the merrymaking of immoral culture. We weep. Being pilgrims does not mean being cynical. The salt of the earth does not mock rotting meat. Where it can, it saves and seasons. And where it can’t, it weeps.

One of the most important discoveries I have ever made is this truth: God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him. This is the motor that drives my ministry as a pastor. It affects everything I do.

The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.

If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.

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.

If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.

The call of God does what the call of man cannot. It raises the dead.
