Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.

Labor in the Lord is not in vain. Labor outside the Lord may well be in vain. We labor in the Lord when we labor using His enablement for His glory.

To know God is to fear Him. And this fear is to love Him as He deserves to be loved.

Christians should be the boldest people in the world-not cocky and sure of ourselves, but sure of Him.

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.

Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not quite forgotten among Christians, but it has been relegated to the hymnal where all responsibility toward it may be comfortably discharged in a glow of religious emotion. Or if it is taught as a theory in the classroom it is rarely applied to practical living. The idea that the Man Christ Jesus has absolute final authority over the whole church and over its members in every detail of their lives is simply not now accepted as true by the rank and file of evangelical Christians.
