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

Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst

The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.

The importance of prayer rises in proportion to the importance of the things we should give up in order to pray

James says, "You desire and do not have; so you kill" (Jas. 4:2). We kill marriages and we kill unborn babies because they cut across our desires; they stand in the way of our unencumbered self-enhancement. And we live in a culture where self-enhancement and self-advancement is god. And if self-enhancement is god, then the One who is at work in the womb shaping a person in His own image is not God and the assault on His work is not sacrilegious, but obedience to the god of self.

If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.

God doesn’t waste anything for those who are yielded to him.
