In EVERY situation and EVERY circumstance of your life, God is always doing a thousand different things that you cannot see and you do not know.

The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.

Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things.

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

No one will be able to rise to the magnificence of the missionary cause who does not feel the magnificence of Christ.

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 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. To humble ourselves in repentance for the God-diminishing bitterness of our hearts. To turn to Christ in desperate need, and to treasure his forgiveness, his transforming, and his friendship.
