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

The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith. The two are at opposite sides of the same coin.

If we try to obey without faith, we get nowhere. If we try to have faith without obedience, it ends in nothing.

The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.

We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.

In Him (God), history and prophecy are one and the same.

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