Marriage is not mainly about prospering economically. It is mainly about displaying the covenant keeping love between Christ and his Church

Christian fasting, at its root, is the hunger of a homesickness for God

God is love precisely because He relentlessly pursues the praises of His name in the hearts of His people.

The murders of Newtown are a warning to me - and you. Not a warning to see our schools as defenseless, but to see our souls as depraved. To see our need for a Savior.

'Worship' is the term we use to cover all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of God. This is what we were created for, as God says in Isaiah 43:7, Everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory. That means that we were all created for the purpose of expressing the infinite worth of God's glory. We were created to worship.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
