A saving knowledge of Christ crucified and risen is not the mere result of right reasoning about historical facts. It is the result of spiritual illumination to see those facts for what they really are: a revelation of the truth and glory of God in the face of Christ-who is the same yesterday today and forever.

Sanctification is a community project.

Every criticism or slight against you, warranted or not, received or endured humbly, is written in heaven for your reward.

The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.

We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.

The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!

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