When our Lord looked at us, He saw not only what we were -- He was faithful in seeing what we could become! He took away the curse of being and gave us the glorious blessing of becoming.

Any objection to the carryings on of our present gold-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, ‘But we are winning them!’ Winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To hard self-discipline ? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is...No.

If we can trust the sufferings of Christ for our sake then we can trust Christ when we suffer for His sake.

How utterly terrible is the current idea that Christians can serve God at their own convenience.

The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.

I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.

Dare to contend without being contentious. Preserve the truth without hurting people. Love and be charitable.
