The Goal Of Missions Is The Gladness

The Gospel Is Not How People Get To Heaven. The Gospel Is How People Get To God.

A Saving Knowledge Of Christ Crucified And Risen Is Not The Mere Result Of Right Reasoning About Historical Facts. It Is The Result Of Spiritual Illumination To See Those Facts For What They Really Are: A Revelation Of The Truth And Glory Of God In The Face Of Christ-who Is The Same Yesterday Today And Forever.

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.

The Further You Go In The Revealed Thoughts Of God, The Clearer You See That God's Aim In Creating The World Was To Display The Value Of His Own Glory.

The Really Wonderful Moments Of Joy In This World Are Not The Moments Of Self-satisfaction, But Self-forgetfulness. Standing On The Edge Of The Grand Canyon And Contemplating Your Own Greatness Is Pathological. At Such Moments We Are Made For A Magnificent Joy That Comes From Outside Ourselves.
