Enjoyment of Jesus is not like icing on the cake; it’s like powder in the shell.

Jesus - “the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily” (Colossians 2:9).

The spirit of Jesus, when he set his face like flint to go to Jerusalem, runs through the generations of all his most inspiring followers.

If we don’t want God above all things we have not been converted by the gospel.

If gratitude for the gospel is not rooted in the glory of God beneath the gift of God, it is disguised idolatry.

God’s glory consists much in the fact that He is happy beyond all our imagination.

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5–6)

When God appoints the gospel of his Son as the universal remedy for the guilt and corruption of mankind, and we diminish that, the gospel is diminished. And you cannot diminish the gospel without being diminished yourself.

A prayerless Christian is like a bus driver trying alone to push his bus out of a rut because he doesn't know Clark Kent is on board.
