If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.

When you see Jesus as your Treasure, the Spirit has blown through your heart.

Only the #‎ gospel can do two seemingly contradictory things: destroy pride and increase courage.

If the pursuit of God's glory is not ordered above the pursuit of man's good in the affections of the heart and the priorities of the Church, man will not be well served, and God will not be duly honored. I am not pleading for a diminishing of missions but for a magnifying of God. When the flame of worship burns with the heat of God's true worth, the light of missions will shine to the darkest peoples on earth. And I long for that day to come!

The great barrier to worship among God's people is not that we are always seeking our own satisfaction, but that our seeking is so weak and half-hearted that we settle for little sips at broken cisterns when the fountain of life is just over the next hill.

Worship is basically adoration, and we adore only what delights us. There is no such thing as sad adoration or unhappy praise.

I measure Your love for me by the magnitude of the wrath I deserved, and the wonder of Your mercy by putting Christ in my place.
