We have a name for those who try to praise when they have no pleasure in the object. We call them hypocrites.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

Christ is glorified in you when he is more precious to you than all that life can give or death can take.

Servanthood does not nullify leadership; it defines it. Jesus does not cease to be the Lion of Judah when He becomes the lamblike servant of the church.

To love God does not mean to meet His needs, but rather to delight in Him and to be captivated by His glorious power and grace, and to value Him above all other things on earth. All the rest of the commandments are the kinds of things that we will do from our hearts, if our hearts are truly delighted with and resting in the glory of God's grace.

Grace is power, not just pardon.

Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
