Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.

We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.

We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.

I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.

There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.

The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers.

Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.
