Worship isn’t just something we do; it is where God does something to us. Worship is the heart of discipleship because it is the gymnasium in which God retrains our hearts.
James K. A. Smith • You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit
God is glorified precisely when we are satisfied in him—when we delight in his presence, when we like to be around him, when we treasure his fellowship. This is an utterly life-changing discovery. It frees us to pursue our joy in God and God to pursue his glory in us because they are not two different pursuits.
John Piper • Let the Nations Be Glad!
God smiles when we trust him completely.
Rick Warren • The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?
Loving people is Christ’s agenda, and surrender of my own agenda makes me available for His.
Bill Johnson • When Heaven Invades Earth Expanded Edition: A Practical Guide to a Life of Miracles
Nowhere in Scripture do I see a “balanced life with a little bit of God added in” as an ideal for us to emulate. Yet when I look at our churches, this is exactly what I see: a lot of people who have added Jesus to their lives.
Preston M. Sprinkle • The Francis Chan Collection: Crazy Love, Forgotten God, Erasing Hell, and Multiply
But I wonder how often we pray for ourselves. We need hearts that are what and where they should be so we can say all that God has put in front of us. We need to truly love the people to whom we preach. We need to look on the crowd, regardless of its size, and be filled with Christ’s compassion for it.
