To know God is to be transformed, and thus to be introduced to a life that could not otherwise be experienced.

The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.

I can say that it's 10 miles from my home to Trinity, when in fact that's not quite right, it's off by about 10%, but nobody would say that I'm telling a lie or making a mistake when I rounded off because that's the way we speak and rounded off terms regularly.

Some Christians want enough of Christ to be identified with him but not enough to be seriously inconvenienced.

Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.

For example, the Bible does say this is a proposition, "There is no God." But of course the context of Psalm 14:1 enriches it a bit: "the fool has said in his heart, there is no God." So there are contextual constraints and when you finish putting in all the contextual constraints and sophisticated discussions of what inerrancy is and isn't.

We are lost when human opinion means more to us than God’s.
