Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.

Apart from worshiping God, everything becomes superficial. But when you understand the driving force behind everything, all of a sudden there's an eternal amount of joy at our disposal, because everything we do is enlightened and enlivened by the endless glory of the eternal God.

Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; it’s a place for those who love God.

If you are in Christ, you are fully and completely forgiven for all your sin-past, present and future.

As you consider selecting songs for your worship services, consider them in light of the truth of the gospel. Imagine the songs as teachers--because they are! If your people could understand your doctrine only through the music you sing, what would they know about God and His pursuit of us? If your people could understand your church's beliefs only through the music, what would they know?
