Why Christians Do What They

God Has Ordained That Our Preaching Become Deeper And More Winsome As We Are Broken, Humbled, And Made Low And Desperately Dependent On Grace By The Trials Of Our Lives.

Feeling Loved By God Means Feeling Glad Not Only That He Crushed His Son So That I Can Be Forgiven, But That He's Crushing Everything That Takes Away From My Praising Of The Glory Of His Grace.

We Ought To Celebrate The Positive Glorious Gifts Of God, But The Worth Of God Shines In A Powerful Way To The World When In The Midst Of Suffering We Still Don't Curse God But Say "the Lord Gave And The Lord Takes Away, Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord."

The Formation Of The Life Of A Person In The Womb Is The Work Of God, And It Is Not Merely A Mechanical Process But A Work On The Analogy Of Weaving Or Knitting: "thou Didst Knit Me Together In My Mother's Womb" (psalm 139:13). The Life Of The Unborn Is The Knitting Of God, And What He Is Knitting Is A Human Being In His Own Image, Unlike Any Other Creature In The Universe... The Destruction Of Conceived Human Life - Whether Embryonic, Fetal, Or Viable - Is An Assault On The Unique Person-forming Work Of God.

Sin Is What You Do When Your Heart Is Not Satisfied With God.
