We get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when, and only when, we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position.

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.

Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.

God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.

The great test of faith is to wait on God. . . not expecting to push a button and get whatever we want now.

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

The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.
