I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. ~ A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
The message is not that God loves us, but that he loves us with a love that cannot be defeated, even by our own stupidity. This is the gospel — the finished work of Christ on the cross, his resurrection and ascension and royal authority over everything. ~ Raymond C.
