God is more ready to hear and answer the cries of his children than any earthly father can ever be.

“When you love the person with whom God has made you one flesh, you are loving yourself. That is, your greatest joy is found in seeking the greatest joy of your spouse.” https://t.co/27ooToiS4c

@jasonmauck1 Yep, mayflies. Years ago, I drove through a downpour of mayflies at dusk along a lake in northern Minnesota. I could hardly keep my truck’s windshield clear enough to see the road. Almost ran out of windshield washer fluid.

All of life is supposed to be worship. Singing in church. Sweeping the floor. How you handle your sexuality. How you farm. Worship is “all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of God.” https://t.co/VSiTVJZDk1

The Great Exchange: “God has what we need and don’t deserve — righteousness; and we have what God hates and rejects — sin. What is God’s answer to this situation? His answer is Jesus Christ, the Son of God who died in our place and bore our condemnation.” https://t.co/y6HRucWT7e

“…We are a singing people because we are the children of a singing God.”

“If he appointed song for us to release our heart’s delight in him, is this not because he also knows the joy of releasing his own heart’s delight in his own image in his Son by his Spirit in song?” https://t.co/93OFULuX80

“He does not need us. If we stay away, he is not impoverished... But he magnifies his mercy by giving us free access through his Son, in spite of our sin, to the one Reality that can satisfy our souls completely and forever, namely, himself.” https://t.co/UQhZCnM73E

“The way up is down. The way forward is backward. The way to success is through divinely appointed setbacks. They will always look and feel like failure.” https://t.co/e4eIDDnFej

“Behind all disease and disability is the ultimate will of God…. for God’s elect children, Satan cannot destroy us, and God turns all his attacks finally against him and for us.” https://t.co/zsOBF2N9l7

“The only thing that keeps us from swimming against sinful culture is not the difficulty of the stroke, but our sinful desire to go with the flow.” https://t.co/4mmnPkKjH4

“Hell is one way to settle accounts with sinners and uphold his justice…. God provided another way. This is the gospel. The wisdom of God has ordained a way for the love of God to deliver us from the wrath of God without compromising the justice of God.” https://t.co/4je2QVIj16

“The engagement of God’s power never takes the place of the engagement of our will! The power of God in sanctification never makes us passive! The power of God engages itself beneath or behind and within our will, not in place of our will.” https://t.co/di22Boh1go

“…let us learn to discern whether the words spoken against us, or against God, or against the truth, are merely for the wind — spoken not from the soul, but from the sore. If they are for the wind, let us wait in silence and not reprove.” https://t.co/2pLLgf7rNR

“Jesus took our nature in Bethlehem, to die our death in Jerusalem — all that we might be fearless in our city today. Yes, fearless. Because if the biggest threat to my joy is gone, then why should I fret over the little ones?” https://t.co/hmJZa5R5aj

“God has made us to be conduits of his grace. The danger is in thinking the conduit should be lined with gold. It shouldn’t. Copper will do. Copper can carry unbelievable riches to others… in the very process of that giving we enjoy the greatest blessing” https://t.co/EOAUhT2NMi
