Vastly Wonderful
“. . . God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that he can, without anything other than himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.”
A.W. Tozer
The Cross
“The cross is not merely a past place of substitution, it is a present place of execution.”
John Piper
Right Doctrines

First Loved Me
Written by Steve Pruitt
I love you, Lord
Because you first loved me
And it was so
Before the world’s foundation
Your sovereign grace
Foreknew me as your own
And your son paid
The price for my salvation

95 Percent
“If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.”

Only Attraction
“It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God.”
