Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.

Nothing's easier to talk about than surrendering ourselves and dying on the Cross. Nothing's harder than actually doing it.

The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.

We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.

God expects us to measure the church not against tradition but against the standards & promises of His Word.

The Christian church was designed to make sinners sweat. I have always believed that, and I still believe it. The messages preached in our churches should make backslidden Christians sweat. And if I achieve that objective when I preach, I thank God with all of my heart, no matter what people think of me.

A Christian expects to go to Heaven on the virtue of another.
