When it comes to satisfying our spiritual appetites, there is no such thing as excess. There are no restraints placed on us by God. There are no rules of temperance or laws requiring moderation or boundaries beyond which we cannot go in seeking to enjoy Him. We need never pause to inquire whether we've crossed a line or become overindulgent. You need never fear feeling too good about God.

The ultimate goal of theology isn't knowledge, but worship. If our learning and knowledge of God do not lead to the joyful praise of God, we have failed. We learn only that we might laud, which is to say that theology without doxology is idolatry. The only theology worth studying is a theology that can be sung!

Self-image, the concept we have of ourselves, must begin not by looking in the mirror but by looking into the face of God.

Worship is first and foremost a feasting on all that God is for us in Jesus... [One] in which God is the host, the cook, the waiter, and the meal itself.

The New Testament never once warns us that humbly seeking and praying for spiritual gifts will bring anything other than a blessing.

Grace ceases to be grace if God is compelled to bestow it in the presence of human merit.

God created you for the first and greatest commandment, to be a lover of God.
