A scared world needs a fearless church.

As we come to the Bible, we can come with the holy anticipation of actually meeting with God.

To be effective the preacher's message must be alive; it must alarm, arouse, challenge; it must be God's present voice to a particular people.

We may say simply that in the sight of God we are judged not so much by what we do as by our reasons for doing it.

If in our Saturday pursuits we're far from God's presence, we're not in very good shape to worship Him on Sunday.

We modern Christians are long on talk and short on conduct.

When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No--Jesus died because God is showing mercy. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb.
