The goal of revelation is not information only, but affection, worship, and obedience. Christ in us will be realized only as we drink deeply of the Bible, which is God's word outside of us

If we do not worship God, God will not be the lesser for it. But we will.

When "everything is awesome" we may miss what (and Who) is truly deserving of awe.

The Christian's comfort: I am not my own. I do not make my own rules or create my own identity. There is one who made me and can save me.

I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.

If there really is a perfect will of God we are meant to discover, in which we will find tremendous freedom and fulfillment, why does it seem that everyone looking for God's will is in such bondage and confusion?

Just about everybody in America likes Jesus, but few like him for who he truly is.
