Where Feelings For God Are

Neither Muslims Nor Anyone Else Truly Worships The True God If They Reject Jesus As He Really Is In The Gospels.

Where Passion For God Is Weak, Zeal For Missions Will Be Weak.

The Task Of All Christian Scholarship—not Just Biblical Studies—is To Study Reality As A Manifestation Of God’s Glory, To Speak And Write About It With Accuracy, And To Savor The Beauty Of God In It, And To Make It Serve The Good Of Man. It Is An Abdication Of Scholarship When Christians Do Academic Work With Little Reference To God. If All The Universe And Everything In It Exist By The Design Of An Infinite, Personal God, To Make His Manifold Glory Known And Loved, Then To Treat Any Subject Without Reference To God’s Glory Is Not Scholarship But Insurrection.

The Deepest Need That You And I Have In Weakness And Adversity Is Not Quick Relief, But The Well-grounded Confidence That What Is Happening To Us Is Part Of The Greatest Purpose Of God In The Universe - The Glorification Of The Grace And Power Of His Son - The Grace And Power That Bore Him To The Cross And Kept Him There Until The Work Of Love Was Done.

Exultation That Does Not Flow From Education, Affections That Do Not Flow From Knowing, Savoring That Does Not Flow From Seeing, Feeling That Does Not Flow From Thinking - Are Hollow And Rootless - Noisy Gongs And Clanging Cymbals. And God Is Not Glorified By Artificial And Empty Passions. True Delight Is Rooted In True Doctrine. God-centered Exultation Is Rooted In God-centered Education.
