The more clearly we see sins horror, the more we shall treasure the cross.

The way to be anxious about nothing is to be prayerful about everything.

Effective prayer is the fruit of a relationship with God, not a technique for acquiring blessings.

The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned. Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth. In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).

Damn all false antitheses to hell, for they generate false gods, they perpetuate idols, they twist and distort our souls, they launch the church into violent pendulum swings who oscillations succeed only in dividing brothers and sisters in Christ

If it is hard to accept a rebuke, even a private one, it is harder still to administer one in loving humility.

To assume the gospel in one generation is to lose it in the next.
