“He cannot be a glorious God unless His people ultimately are a glorified people.”

“Moses had come to know God as Jehovah-shalom, the God of all peace. This is the deepest need of the human heart—to be at peace with God and with oneself. The proof that his heart was at peace was that it was filled with praise…not necessarily for what God had done, but for who God is. He was living out the chief end of man—-to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Psalm 29:11 says, “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”

“It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people. ”

“To glorify democracy and to silence the people is a farce; to discourse on humanism and to negate people is a lie.”

“The real crisis of worship today is not that the preaching is paltry or that it’s too drafty in church. It is that people have no sense of the presence of God, and if they have no sense of His presence, how can they be moved to express the deepest feelings of their souls to honor, revere, worship, and glorify God?”

“Unless people have a vision of something beyond the bounds of their own natures, they cannot transcend their self-interest.”
