God's creative design was that your ravenous appetite for pleasure find fulfillment in Him, for nothing more wonderfully reveals His glory than the joy the creature has in its Creator.

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

Adultery is an obvious violation of the rights of another. You are stealing what doesn't belong to you.

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

Joy is not necessarily the absence of suffering, it is the presence of God.

Many Christians are either woefully deficient in their knowledge of Scripture or noticeably devoid of any experience of God's power. The Lord never intended this for His people. We have all seen firsthand the joyless intellectual arrogance the absence of spiritual power can produce, as well as the fanatical emotional excess that comes from the lack of theological integrity.

Enjoy the joy of being enjoyed by God.
