There is no avoiding the fact that we live at the mercy of our ideas This is never more true than with our ideas about God.

The Bible defines almost nothing because it isn't a book for scholars and philosophers or free thinkers. It's a book for people who want help. It's primarily a book for pastors. They're the ones that can use it in a way so that it actually achieves its purpose.

The greatest danger to the Christian church today is that of pitching its message too low.

The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.

We Christians should be aware that there's something at stake in cultural participation that we wouldn't have been concerned about if all we did was worry about the messages in culture.

The Bible, of course, is not a theology book. It is certainly not a philosophy book. So we have to derive the meaning of terms from the context in use.

Your mind will really talk to you when you begin to deny fulfillment to your desires, and you will find how subtle and shameless it is.
