Because a God who is ultimately most focused on his own glory will be about the business of restoring us, who are all broken images of him. His glory demands it. So we should be thankful for a self-sufficient God whose self-regard is glorious.

No matter what our job is, we view it not as our purpose in life but rather as where God has sovereignly placed us for the purpose of making Christ known and his name great. If you are a teacher, if you are a politician, if you are a businessman, if you are in agriculture, if you are in construction, if you are in technology, if you are in the arts, then you should not be saying, ‘I need to find my life’s purpose in this work,’ but rather, ‘I need to bring God’s purpose to this work.’

We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.

When we join God in his plan for his global glory, we get to be a part of the cosmic take-your-kid-t o-work day.

I don't believe in the end that God gave me cancer, but He certainly could have stopped it and didn't.

Worship is the way of life for those entranced by and passionate for the glory of God.

If you’re a church person and not a Jesus person, my heart hurts for you. It’s like being engaged and never getting married. It’s miserable.
