Don’t Be Surprised. There Is Nothing New

The Best News Of The Christian Gospel Is That The Supremely Glorious Creator Of The Universe Has Acted In Jesus Christ's Death And Resurrection To Remove Every Obstacle Between Us And Himself So That We May Find Everlasting Joy In Seeing And Savoring His Infinite Beauty.

The Assurance Of The Believer Is Not That God Will Save Him Even If He Stops Believing, But That God Will Keep Him Believing--god Will Sustain You In Faith, He Will Make Your Hope Firm And Stable To The End. He Will Cause You To Persevere.

True Worship Comes From People Who Are Deeply Emotional And Who Love Deep And Sound Doctrine. Strong Affections For God Rooted In Thrush Are The Bone And Marrow Of Biblical Worship.

We Are All Starved For The Glory Of God, Not Self. No One Goes To The Grand Canyon To Increase Self-esteem. Why Do We Go? Because There Is Greater Healing For The Soul In Beholding Splendor Than There Is In Beholding Self.

Christ Did Not Die To Make Good Works Merely Possible Or To Produce A Half-hearted Pursuit. He Died To Produce In Us A Passion For Good Deeds. Christian Purity Is Not The Mere Avoidance Of Evil, But The Pursuit Of Good.
