One of the most important discoveries I have ever made is this truth: God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him. This is the motor that drives my ministry as a pastor. It affects everything I do.
Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.
Here is a vocation that will bring you more satisfaction than if you became a millionaire ten times over: Develop the extraordinary skill for detecting the burdens of others and devote yourself daily to making them lighter.
If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
God has ordained that Satan have a long leash with God holding on to the leash because he knows that when we walk in and out of those temptations, struggling with both the physical effects that they bring and the moral effects that they bring, more of God's glory will shine.
