The Cross Is Not A Mere Event

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

God Is Pursuing With Omnipotent Passion A Worldwide Purpose Of Gathering Joyful Worshipers For Himself From Every Tribe And Tongue And People And Nation. He Has An Inexhaustible Enthusiasm For The Supremacy Of His Name Among The Nations. Therefore, Let Us Bring Our Affections Into Line With His, And, For The Sake Of His Name, Let Us Renounce The Quest For Worldly Comforts And Join His Global Purpose.

We Will Not Let You Choose Between Being A Lover Of God And His Sovereignty And Being A Lover Of Lost People.

The Great Barrier To Worship Among God's People Is Not That We Are Always Seeking Our Own Satisfaction, But That Our Seeking Is So Weak And Half-hearted That We Settle For Little Sips At Broken Cisterns When The Fountain Of Life Is Just Over The Next Hill.

God Did Not Just Overcome Evil At The Cross. He Made Evil Serve The Overcoming Of Evil. He Made Evil Commit Suicide In Doing Its Worst Evil.
