"Soul satisfying fellowship with our Father is the aim of the cross"

"God forgave us in such a way that infinite joy in his fellowship becomes ours. God is the goal of forgiveness. He is also the ground and the means of forgiveness. It comes from him; it was accomplished through his son and it leads people back to him with their sins cast into the deepest sea"

2-8-11

"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord"

2-7-11

"It is childlike faith in the triumph of God's love that on the other side of all our risks for the sake of righteousness, God will still be holding us. We will have been eternally satisfied in him, nothing will have been wasted"

2-2-11

"His beauty shines most brightly when treasured above health and wealth and life itself"

"To put it another way, when you put your trust in Christ, your bondage to the world and its overpowering lure is broken"

"The world is no longer our treasure. Its not the source of our life or our satisfaction or our joy. Christ is"

"He knew that suffering (whether small discomforts or dreadful torture) would be the path in this age for making him most visibly supreme"

"Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich, having nothing, yet possessing everything"

1-28-11

"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for ME"
