Little hearts, little souls give little lusts big power. Big hearts give little lusts little power.

Why does God bless us with abundance? So we can have enough to live on and then use the rest for all manner of good works that alleviate spiritual and physical misery. Enough for us; abundance for others.

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

Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.

Anger devours almost all other good emotions. It deadens the soul. It numbs the heart to joy and gratitude and hope and tenderness and compassion and kindness.

The gospel of God and the love of God are expressed finally and fully in God's gift of himself for our everlasting pleasure. "In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

We are more than a collection of appetites - we are of God.
