Grace Is Power, Not Just Pardon.

The Deepest Need That You And I Have In Weakness And Adversity Is Not Quick Relief, But The Well-grounded Confidence That What Is Happening To Us Is Part Of The Greatest Purpose Of God In The Universe - The Glorification Of The Grace And Power Of His Son - The Grace And Power That Bore Him To The Cross And Kept Him There Until The Work Of Love Was Done.

If You Don’t Know God As Beautiful And Satisfying, You Don’t Know Him.

So You Can See What Is Happening In The New Testament. Worship Is Being Significantly Deinstitutionalized, Delocalized, De-externalized. The Whole Thrust Is Being Taken Off Of Ceremony And Seasons And Places And Forms And Is Being Shifted To What Is Happening In The Heart - Not Just On Sunday But Every Day And All The Time In All Of Life.

You Can't Make Yourself Saved. This Is Very Threatening To People, Even Christians, Because Of What It Seems To Say About Freedom.

If You Remove Enjoyment Of God From Faith In God, It Ceases To Be Faith.
