“The essence of loving living as a follower of Jesus isn't in trying harder but in enjoying more. I'm not saying you can change without trying. I'm saying that enjoyment empowers effort. Pleasure in God is the power for purity.” TryingJesusEnjoyPleasureEffortEssenceHarderEnjoymentPurityEmpoweringFollowers Author:Sam Storms
“Worship is not about my enjoyment. It is about my enjoyment of God. It is not about my pleasure or my delight or my satisfaction. It is about my pleasure, delight, and satisfaction in God. Worship is not simply about glorifying God. It is about glorifying God by enjoying Him forever.” EnjoyPleasureForeverWorshipSatisfactionDelightEnjoymentGlorifying God Author:Sam Storms
“The ordinances do not impart eternal life to the believer, but they do confirm, strengthen, and heighten our awareness and enjoyment of that life. The bread and wine are means or instruments by which God quickens us to apprehend, understand, visualize, and experience the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit and his unique ministry of shining the light of illumination and glory on Jesus.” MeanLightSpiritJesusInfluenceAwarenessHolyEternalUniqueGloryInstrumentsWineShiningBelieverBreadHoly SpiritEnjoymentMinistryEternal LifeIlluminationImpartOrdinancesBread And Wine Author:Sam Storms
“What elevates the human soul and empowers it to live in the fullness of its created purpose is not religious intimidation or new rules or an anxiety induced by spiritual scoldings. It is faith in the promise that the enjoyment sin brings is fleeting and futile, but at God's right hand, and in the presence of His radiant glory, are pleasures evermore (Ps. 16:11).” HumansSoulHandsSpiritualPurposeReligiousSinPleasurePromiseAnxietyGloryEnjoymentEmpoweringFleetingFullnessHuman SoulRadiantIntimidationEvermoreScolding Author:Sam Storms
