To know God and to find one's full satisfaction in that knowledge is the ultimate goal of Christian experience. The Lord's greatest delight comes when His people discover the ultimate value lies in the knowledge of God. Nothing in the material world can complete with the delights that are present in His Person.

A worshiper's gift makes a statement about the worshiper and his God.

Even guilty people deserve to be treated as those made in the image of God.

The heart that delights in God and longs only to see His glory advance will seldom be conscious of sacrifice. God in His wisdom asks that we first love Him and then live in keeping with that core value. He does not want His people to think of what they do as sacrificial, even though from the world's point of view it may be just that. Gratitude for grace of God will always be found near the center of the Biblical Christian's most powerful motivations.

God's commandments not only reflect His holiness, they promote our happiness.

Giving works best when the Lord's portion is removed first and believers learn to live within the remainder.

Curiosity is an enormous challenge to godly living.
