I've Always Wondered, Am I

Suffering In The Path Of Christian Obedience, With Joy - Because The Steadfast Love Of The Lord Is Better Than Life (psalm 63:3) - Is The Clearest Display Of The Worth Of God In Our Lives. Therefore, Faith-filled Suffering Is Essential In This World For The Most Intense, Authentic Worship. When We Are Most Satisfied With God In Suffering, He Will Be Most Glorified In Us In Worship. Our Problem Is Not Styles Of Music. Our Problem Is Styles Of Life. When We Embrace More Affliction For The Worth Of Christ, There Will Be More Fruit In The Worship Of Christ.

If We Love God's Fame And Are Committed To Magnifying His Name Above All Things, We Cannot Be Indifferent To World Missions.

O, God Of Wonder, Enlarge My Capacity To Be Amazed At What Is Amazing, And End My Attraction To The Insignificant.

There Is A Great Gulf Between The Christianity That Wrestles With Whether To Worship At The Cost Of Imprisonment And Death, And The Christianity That Wrestles With Whether The Kids Should Play Soccer On Sunday Morning.

Christ Did Not Die To Make Good Works Merely Possible Or To Produce A Half-hearted Pursuit. He Died To Produce In Us A Passion For Good Deeds. Christian Purity Is Not The Mere Avoidance Of Evil, But The Pursuit Of Good.
