Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.

I feel a special calling to impart hope to the church I serve.

Isn't it ironic that today people say, 'If you know the love of God, you don't have to worry when you go on in sin.' But the apostle John said, 'If you know the love of God, you won't be able to go on in sin.'

In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).

Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. And God is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. True delight is rooted in true doctrine. God-centered exultation is rooted in God-centered education.

There are only three kinds of Christians when it comes to world missions: zealous goers, zealous senders, and disobedient.

We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
