Try this New Year's resolution: I won't check my phone, my tablet, or my computer until I've first read a chapter in my Bible.

The reason for your entire salvation, the design behind your deliverance, the purpose for which God chose you in the first place is holiness.

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 you think God has promised this world will be a five-star hotel, you will be miserable as you live through the normal struggles of life. But if you remember that God promised we would be pilgrims and this world may feel more like a desert or even a prison, you might find your life surprisingly happy.

The worship of Christ is our joy and privilege today. And tomorrow, and next Sunday, and for all eternity.

The man who attempts Christianity without the church shoots himself in the foot, shoots his children in the leg, and shoots his grandchildren in the heart.

We can stop pleading with God to show us the future, and start living and obeying like we are confident that He holds the future.
