“Joy is the keynote that gives the Song of the Servant its melody. Isaiah speaks of the ‘oil of joy’ (v. 3), ‘everlasting joy’ (v. 7), and the ‘joyful’ soul (v. 10). By definition, joy is an inner quality of life that depends upon a right relationship with God, but at the same time, is independent of external circumstances.” (Page 233)
“Biblical truth, spiritual discipline, and personal faith are the criteria by which the barren churches bear children and ‘inherit the nations’ (v. 3).” (Page 166)
“True self-esteem is characterized by three fundamental facts: (1) our joy in life is the result of being redeemed by God from the inside out; (2) our beauty of character is the evidence of God’s righteousness in us; and (3) our glory is to have God glorified in us.” (Page 237)
“While they are the dead gods who must be carried as a burden by their worshipers, the Lord is the living God who carries the burden for His people.” (Page 100)
“Learning of the Word is never an end in itself; we learn the Word to teach those in need.” (Page 140)
