It is important for us to make a distinction between the spiritual fruit of joy and the cultural concept of happiness. A Christian can have joy in his heart while there is still spiritual depression in his head. The joy that we have sustains us through these dark nights and is not quenched by spiritual depression. The joy of the Christian is one that survives all downturns in life.

We have to find in Christ, not a mask that conceals our face, but an entire wardrobe of clothing, which is His righteousness.

We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.

We break our promises to one another. We break our promises to God. But God never breaks His promises to us.

The presumptuous sin of Uzzah was that He assumed his hands were less polluted than the dirt.

Nothing could be more irrational than the idea that something comes from nothing.

To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
