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

Unchecked, the new tolerance will sooner or later put many people in chains.

To worship God 'in spirit and in truth' is first and foremost a way of saying that we must worship God by means of Christ. In him the reality has dawned and the shadows are being swept away (Hebrews 8:13). Christian worship is new covenant worship; it is gospel-inspired worship; it is Christ-centered worship; it is cross-focused worship.

A billion years or so into eternity, how many toys we accumulated during this life will not seem too terribly important.

There is no long-range effective teaching of the Bible that is not accompanied by long hours of ongoing study of the Bible.

The Bible does not tell us that life in this world will be fair. Evil and sin are not Victorian gentlemen; they do not play fair.

Ordinary Bibles often include cross-references and brief concordances; Study Bibles include much more, all bound up in one fat volume, so that readers can find a lot of useful explanation on each page without having to hunt through Bible dictionaries and commentaries and the like.
