The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.

The Christian's whole desire, at its best and highest, is that Jesus Christ be praised. It is always a wretched bastardization of our goals when we want to win glory for ourselves instead of for him.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.

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

The heart of all idolatry in the Bible is the de-godding of God.

The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.

A wrong understanding is interested in precisionism. That is it tries to say that the Bible can't be telling the truth if it says that Jesus was such and such a distance from some place or other and in fact the distance is off by 15% or something like that. There are all kinds of grounded figures and so forth.
