God tests His people through hardship.

The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear.

God is at work in the worst of times. He is at work doing a thousand things no one can see but him.

The Great Commission will not get done if we’re not ready to risk our lives and the lives of our family.

To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.

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

Why don't people ask us about our hope? The answer is probably that we look as if we hope in the same things they do. Our lives don't look like they are on the Calvary road, stripped down for sacrificial love, serving others with the sweet assurance that we don't need to be rewarded in this life.
