Discipline will never bring about love for God, but love for God will bring about discipline.

The drug of choice in the modern age is levity. We want everything to be light and bubbly. We just want to feel good.

When you blow it, God still celebrates His Son in you. The litmus test of whether or not you understand the gospel is what you do when you fail. Do you run from Him and go clean yourself up a little bit before you come back into the throne room? Or do you approach the throne of grace with confidence? If you don't approach the throne of grace with confidence, you don't understand the gospel.

A Church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained; she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from The Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise- the only proper response to the God who saves us.

In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.

The cross of Christ is the response of God to men for belittling His name.

God is more interested in declaring than explaining.
