I have a great need for Christ, but I have a great Christ for my need.

How I Feel Every Sunday Afternoon
… except for the 70 years of preaching part.
After seventy years of expository preaching, I have yet to touch the hem of His garment.

It Will Be Worth It All
The presence and company of Christ will make amends for all we suffer here below. When we see as we have been seen, and look back on the journey of life, we shall wonder at our own faintness of heart. We shall marvel that we made so much of our cross, and thought so little of our crown. We shall marvel that in ‘counting the cross’ we could ever doubt on which side the balance of profit lay.
The Judas Kiss of Preaching
To attempt to preach Christ without his cross, is to betray him with a kiss.

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

That in All Things Christ Must Have the Most Importance
Jesus is the centre of all, the object of all. Whoever does not know Him knows nothing aright either of the world or of himself.

If Jesus Is Who He Says He Is…
If Jesus is who he says he is, and if his promises are as rewarding as the Bible claims they are, then we may discover that satisfaction in our lives and success in the church are not found in what culture deems most important but in radical abandonment to Jesus.
David Platt, Radical (Colorado Springs, Co.: Multnomah Books, 2010), 3.
The Moment We Believe
In Christianity, the moment we believe, God says “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”

The Lightnging Rod of Grace
The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short-circuits God’s wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers.
“My Sheep Hear My Voice”
The “sheepishness of the sheep” in the church’s fold is [a large part of the problem.] The “wolfishness of the wolves” would be far less of a menace to our modern world if the sheep would listen to the voice of their one shepherd.
