Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization. And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is eternity.

As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is his goodness directed toward human debt and demerit.

The true follower of Christ will not ask, "If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?" Rather he will say, "This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!"

When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on earth.

Real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.

God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.
