The Ministry And Mission Of The Church

The Only Answer In These Modern Times, As In All Other Times, Is The Blood Of Christ. When Our Conscience Rises Up And Condemns Us, Where Will We Turn? We Turn To Christ. We Turn To The Suffering And Death Of Christ—the Blood Of Christ. This Is The Only Cleansing Agent In The Universe That Can Give The Conscience Relief In Life And Peace In Death.

The Inner Essence Of Worship Is Cherishing Christ As Gain - Indeed As More Gain Than All That Life Can Offer - Family, Career, Retirement, Fame, Food, Friends. The Essence Of Worship Is Experiencing Christ As Gain. Or To Use Words That We Love To Use Around Here: It Is Savoring Christ, Treasuring Christ, Being Satisfied With Christ.

If You Don’t Know God As Beautiful And Satisfying, You Don’t Know Him.

It Was Becoming Clearer And Clearer That If I Wanted To Come To The End Of My Life And Not Say, “i’ve Wasted It!” Then I Would Need To Press All The Way In, And All The Way Up, To The Ultimate Purpose Of God And Join Him In It. If My Life Was To Have A Single, All-satisfying, Unifying Passion, It Would Have To Be God’s Passion.

It Is A Fight From Start To Finish To Be Happy In God.
