Never be content with your current grasp of the gospel. The gospel is the life-permeating, world-altering, universe-changing truth. It has more facets than a diamond. It's depths man will never exhaust.

It’s not 'those who help themselves' whom God helps; it’s those who humble themselves.

Read, but not to remember everything. Read because that 1% that you remember has the potential to change your life.

All gifts from God are intended to direct our attention to God and create fresh affection for God.

We cannot free ourselves from pride and selfish ambition; a divine rescue is absolutely necessary.

Your greatest need is not a spouse. Your greatest need is to be delivered from the wrath of God - and that has already been accomplished for you through the death and resurrection of Christ. So why doubt that God will provide a much, much lesser need? Trust His sovereignty, trust His wisdom, trust His love.

Before we can begin to see the cross as something done FOR us, leading us to faith and worship, we have to see it as something done BY us, leading us to repentance. Only the man or woman who is prepared to own his share in the guilt of the cross may claim his share in its grace.
