If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for heaven.

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.

God is more interested in declaring than explaining.

Stop going to church everywhere and start belonging to church somewhere.

What drives me mad in evangelical circles, including some young Reformed circles, is that there is often a sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-for-God-to-do-something mentality that is unbiblical and wicked. It's probably been true of every generation, but I can see it most clearly in the younger crowd. There seems to be so little war when it comes to sin.

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

In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.
