Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?

God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.

Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.

Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, "Now I have another hour to answer for." (Eph. 5:16)

If we cannot claim to live sinless lives, then the only thing that can keep us from despairing before a holy God is that we have an Advocate in heaven and He pleads our case not on the basis of our perfection but of His propitiation.

Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.

You ought to marry someone who’s willing to go anywhere for God. If they’re not, they're out.
