All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.
John Piper
Image
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
Image
At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.

If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
