Well, I would have to say as a Christian that I believe any belief system, any world view, whether its Zen Buddhism or Hinduism or dialectical materialism for that matter, Marxism, that keeps persons captive and keeps them from coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, yes, is a demonstration of satanic power.

Hell will be filled with people who were avidly committed to Christian values.

The absence of consistent biblical worldview thinking is a key mark of spiritual immaturity.

This generation must get deadly serious about the problem of Biblical illiteracy.

A biblical standard of sexuality is not merely a test of evangelical consistency. It is a test of evangelical authenticity and integrity.

Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.

Convictions are not merely beliefs we hold; they are those beliefs that hold us in their grip.
