The Mind Serves To Know The Truth

People Don't Enjoy Salt. They Enjoy What Is Salted. We Are The Salt Of The Earth. We Do Not Exist For Ourselves.

We Can Be Content With Simplicity Because The Deepest Most Satisfying Delights God Gives Us Through Creation Are Free Gifts From Nature And From Loving Relationships With People. After Your Basic Needs Are Met, Accumulated Money Begins To Diminish Your Capacity For These Pleasures Rather Than Increase Them. Buying Things Contributes Absolutely Nothing To The Heart's Capacity For Joy.

Exultation That Does Not Flow From Education, Affections That Do Not Flow From Knowing, Savoring That Does Not Flow From Seeing, Feeling That Does Not Flow From Thinking - Are Hollow And Rootless - Noisy Gongs And Clanging Cymbals. And God Is Not Glorified By Artificial And Empty Passions. True Delight Is Rooted In True Doctrine. God-centered Exultation Is Rooted In God-centered Education.

Adoption Is The Visible Gospel.

Worship Is Basically Adoration, And We Adore Only What Delights Us. There Is No Such Thing As Sad Adoration Or Unhappy Praise.
