Godliness is sexy in a way that physical attraction can never be.

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

We’ve got to get past this idea that God is most glorified when we’re rich, healthy and wealthy and we go, “Isn’t God grand? Look at all He gave me.” Because if anybody joins us in that and says, “Oh, if you love Jesus, you get a house and health and cars? Then I love Jesus too.” Because then all of a sudden you’ve got a different religion. You have the religion of cars and houses, not God.

God doesn't need to have emergency meetings. He's never gathered the Trinity and asked 'What happened there'.
