Don't Follow A Defeated Foe.

He Has Made Me Wary Of Chronological Snobbery. That Is, He Showed Me That Newness Is No Virtue And Oldness Is No Vice. Truth And Beauty And Goodness Are Not Determined By When They Exist. Nothing Is Inferior For Being Old, And Nothing Is Valuable For Being Modern. This Has Freed Me From The Tyranny Of Novelty And Opened For Me The Wisdom Of The Ages.

If You Live Gladly To Make Others Glad In God, Your Life Will Be Hard, Your Risks Will Be High, And Your Joy Will Be Full.

Nothing Makes God More Supreme And More Central In Worship Than When A People Are Utterly Persuaded That Nothing - Not Money Or Prestige Or Leisure Or Family Or Job Or Health Or Sports Or Toys Or Friends - Nothing Is Going To Bring Satisfaction To Their Sinful, Guilty, Aching Hearts Besides God.

There Will Be No People In Heaven Who Want To Be Around Their Things More Than Jesus.

What Defines Us As Christians Is Not Most Profoundly That We Have Come To Know Him But That He Took Note Of Us And Made Us His Own.
