But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life.
God is at work in the worst of times. He is at work doing a thousand things no one can see but him.
Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.
I've never heard anyone say the really deep lessons of life have come in times of ease and comfort. But, I have heard many saints say every significant advance I've ever made in grasping in the depth of God's love and growing deep with Him, have come through suffering.
If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.
Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.
Do all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.
The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.
Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.
A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in his promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too glorious to forsake.
The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours.
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
If you are sufficient for your task, it's too small.
The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
You may be going through things right now that are painfully preparing you for some precious service to Jesus and to his people. When a person strikes rock bottom with a sense of nothingness or helplessness, he may find that he has struck the Rock of Ages
Prayer causes things to happen that wouldn't happen if you didn't pray.
Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.
We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
The critical question for our generation—and for every generation— is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there?
Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God.
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
