God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.

The call of God does what the call of man cannot. It raises the dead.

Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him?

The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.

Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?

If you are sufficient for your task, it's too small.

The Bible says he was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it. This means that what the death of Christ accomplished was so full and so prefect that the resurrection was the reward and vindication of Christ's achievement in death.
