Worship is what we were created for. This is the final end of all existence-the worship of God. God created the universe so that it would display the worth of His glory. And He created us so that we would see this glory and reflect it by knowing and loving it-with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. The church needs to build a common vision of what worship is and what she is gathering to do on Sunday morning and scattering to do on Monday morning.

Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.

The Gospel is not a picture of adoption, adoption is a picture of the Gospel.

Lavish giving and open homes are close to the center of life in Christ.

I feel a special calling to impart hope to the church I serve.

Life is war. That's not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of this truth. Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief.

Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
