“Christ is magnified in my death, when in my death I am satisfied with him–when I experience death as gain because I gain him. Or . . . Christ will be praised in my death, if in my death he is prized above life.”
John Piper
Heart’s Valuing
“This is worship: to act in a way that shows the heart’s valuing the glory of God and the name of the Lord Jesus. Or . . . worship means consciously knowing and treasuring and showing the supreme worth and beauty of God.”
John Piper
Blameless
“Christ will not leave us till he has made us like himself, all glorious within and without, and presented us blameless before his Father.”
Richard Sibbes
Versed
“We ought to be so versed in Scripture as to always have at the tip of our tongue the promise that most exactly meets our case. We ought to be transcripts of Scripture. The divine promise should be as much written upon our hearts as upon the pages of the Book.”
Charles Spurgeon
Cheering Words
“The Bible must be true, for it could not have been invented. The promises contained in it are greater for quantity and better for quality than the most expectant individual could have looked for. God surprises us with the surpassing fullness of His cheering words. He overwhelms us with favors until . . . we sit down in wonder and cry, “Why do I receive so much that I do not deserve.”
Charles Spurgeon
Falling Apart
“A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.”
Charles Spurgeon
Sea of Mercies
“So, afflictions considered in themselves, we think are very great, but let them be considered with the sea of God’s mercies we enjoy, and then they are not so much, they are nothing in comparison.”
Jeremiah Burroughs
