The way of the cross is the way of suffering. Christians are called to die, not kill, in order to show the world how they are loved by Christ.

Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.

If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.

Why does God bless us with abundance? So we can have enough to live on and then use the rest for all manner of good works that alleviate spiritual and physical misery. Enough for us; abundance for others.

God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.

Lavish giving and open homes are close to the center of life in Christ.

Every experience in life is designed to magnify the cross of Christ.
