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

Jerusalem meant one thing for Jesus: certain death.

He has made me wary of chronological snobbery. That is, he showed me that newness is no virtue and oldness is no vice. Truth and beauty and goodness are not determined by when they exist. Nothing is inferior for being old, and nothing is valuable for being modern. This has freed me from the tyranny of novelty and opened for me the wisdom of the ages.

The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear.

Paradise will not be a hall of mirrors, it will be a display of majesty, and it won't be ours

Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.

The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
