...popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the One who died on it... The "work" of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ.

For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance. If I can not have both truth and happiness, give me truth. We’ll have a long time to be happy in heaven.

The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.

We love the old saints, missionaries, martyrs, and reformers. Our Luthers, Bunyans, Wesleys and Asburys, etc... We will write their biographies, reverence their memories, frame their epitaphs, and build their monuments. We will do anything except imitate them. We cherish the last drop of their blood, but watch carefully over the first drop of our own.

We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's justice and God's mercy do not quarrel with each other.

Keep your heart with all diligence and God will take care of the universe.
