I never met a hopeful Christian who didn't read their Bible.

We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.

We have taken the latter course as a culture. So there is mass confusion today--even in the evangelical church--over whether the Bible is true and over how far we should go in obeying it.

You need to be in a church where the pastors are urging you, not so much to listen to what they say as to turn to the Bible from which they teach.

There are no freelance Christians; there is no solo-flying to heaven.

The story line of the Bible is the story line of God taking the initiative in seeking out a people who are His very own.

Would anyone choose Hell over Heaven? YES! Why? Pride. They don't want to go in the only way you can go in, on your knees. They don't want to admit they are a failure, that their life is a mess.
