Why Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.

Mission exists because worship doesn't.

We will not let you choose between being a lover of God and his sovereignty and being a lover of lost people.

Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. And God is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. True delight is rooted in true doctrine. God-centered exultation is rooted in God-centered education.

If we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.

This assumes that the glory of Christ is our highest treasure, not health, wealth, family or even life. So preaching must continually show not that Jesus is the means to prosperity but that he is better than prosperity.

God is love precisely because He relentlessly pursues the praises of His name in the hearts of His people.
