Christianity does not claim to convey merely religious truth, but truth about all reality. This vision of reality is radically different from a secularist vision that wants Christianity to scuttle into the corner of the hearth by the coal shovel, conveniently out of the way of anything but private religious concerns

In any Christian view of life, self-fulfillment must never be permitted to become the controlling issue. The issue is service, the service of real people. The question is, 'How can I be most useful?', not, 'How can I feel most useful?'

Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.

God has disclosed of himself in human words with such magnificent self accommodation to our limitations. Precisely so that we may be his holy people and reverence everything that he says, cherish it, value it, and thus live it out.

Effectiveness in teaching the Bible is purchased at the price of much study, some of it lonely, all of it tiring.

Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.
