A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.

Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.

I'm not getting to heaven on my integrity. I'm not getting to heaven on my goodness.

Don't waste your pain; use it to help others.

Jesus did not die on the cross just so we could live comfortable, well adjusted lives. His purpose is far deeper: He wants to make us like himself before he takes us to heaven. This is our greatest privilege, our immediate responsibility, and our ultimate destiny.

How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, "I'm willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me."

We are commanded to recognize His glory, honor His glory, declare His glory, praise His glory, reflect His glory, and live for His glory.
