You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.

If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.

From eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest - seeing and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.

We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.

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.

God has ordained that our preaching become deeper and more winsome as we are broken, humbled, and made low and desperately dependent on grace by the trials of our lives.
