The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.

Suffering is the stripping of our hope in finite things, therefore we do not put our ultimate hope in anything finite.

Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.

Out of the cross comes the resurrection. Out of weakness comes real strength.

Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.

God so loved us and hates suffering that he was willing to come down and get involved in it.

Bad evangelism says: I'm right, you're wrong, and I would love to tell you about it
