The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.

You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.

If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.

When you are deeply peaceful and confident that, because of Christ, God will bring you safely to his eternal kingdom and be the all-satisfying Treasure of your life forever, then you are free to see the truth, and love the truth, and speak the truth no matter what, and joyfully spread a passion for the truth whose name is Jesus.

God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.

Bad theology dishonors God and hurts people. Churches that sever the root of truth may flourish for a season, but they will wither eventually or turn into something besides a Christian church.

The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.
