I do not know why God does some things, but I am convinced that nothing is accidental in his universe.

The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.

We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.

Faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all.

It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world - a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!

The Cross is not responsible for God's love; rather it was His love that conceived the Cross.

As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal there will be those who will delight to offer affront to your idol.
