God-Centered Ministry

‘”Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let him who boasts boast in the Lord’” (1Cor. 1:31). We are foolish as the Corinthians when we make much of what we cannot endure, when we promote the values and plans and programs of a world that is passing away as if they bear any deep significance. So misguided a course eloquently betrays how little we know of God. For the better we know God, the more we will want of all our existence to revolve around him, and we will see the only goals and plans that really matter are those that are somehow tied to God himself, and to our eternity with him. - D.A. Carson, The Cross and Christian Ministry, 33.
