God gives good things to be received with gratitude, enjoyed with freedom and shared with generosity.

Christian freedom is not the right to please ourselves; it is the freedom to enjoy God’s gifts in ways governed by his glory and our neighbour’s good.

Grace does more than forgive disordered desire: it trains us to say no to its mastery and yes to a new way of life.

A roving appetite always promises satisfaction in the next pleasure; wisdom receives God’s present gifts without asking them to do what they cannot.

Created pleasures are gifts from God: received with gratitude, enjoyed in their proper place and directed back to his praise.
