This is God's universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.

When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.

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

We have a name for those who try to praise when they have no pleasure in the object. We call them hypocrites.

The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.

You don't give God authority over your life. He has it, totally.

The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.
