• The purpose of God's blessing is to enable you to be a great channel of blessing to others.

When you are blessed, you have a mighty foundation from which to impact others. You are blessed to be a blessing.

• Christianity offers not merely a consolation but a restoration - not just of the life we had but of the life we always wanted but never achieved.

• The Christian is joyful, not because he is blind to injustice and suffering, but because he is convinced that these, in the light of the divine sovereignty, are never ultimate.

• An unchurched christian is a grotesque anomaly. The New Testament knows nothing of such a person. For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought. It is not an accident of history. On the contrary, the church is God's new community.
