At the end of history the whole earth has become the Garden of God again. Death and decay and suffering are gone. . . . Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living 'east of Eden,' always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will meet us and embrace us, and we will be brought into the feast.

All life-changing love is inconvenient.

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.

Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.

As many have learned and later taught, you don't realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.

Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.

By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.
