The Judas Kiss of Preaching
To attempt to preach Christ without his cross, is to betray him with a kiss.

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
This is my favorite arrangement of this hymn.
Are You in Danger of Becoming Too Good?
We can never have too much humility, too much faith in Christ, too much holiness, too much spirituality of mind, too much charity, too much zeal in doing good to others. Then let us be continually forgetting the things behind, and reaching forth unto the things before (Phil. 3.13). The best of Christians in these matters is infinitely below the perfect pattern of his Lord. Whatever the world may please to say, we may be sure there is no danger of any of us becoming “too good”.
The Unveiled Christ

The fundamental reason the Word of God is essential to joy in God is that God reveals himself mainly by his Word.

Random Acts of Kindness Actually Aren’t That Random
Acts of kindness and self-sacrifice surface among every race and class of human beings, not because we are simple mixtures of good and evil, but because even in the midst of our deep rebellion God restrains us and displays His glory and goodness.

Prepared for Prayer
None duly prepare themselves for prayer but those who are impressed with the majesty of God.

Gazing at Jesus
Consider Him. If our gaze is in the wrong place, our feet will be in the wrong place.
