Christ is a substitute for everything, but nothing is a substitute for Christ.

Grace is the very opposite of merit... Grace is not only undeserved favor, but it is favor, shown to the one who has deserved the very opposite.

Beware lest we mistake our prejudices for our convictions.

Real worship is that of the heart.

If what they are saying about you is true, mend your ways. If it isn't true, forget it, and go on and serve the Lord.

It is not only that sin consists in doing evil, but in not doing the good that we know.

We are not preaching the Gospel of a dead Christ, but of a living Christ who sits exalted at the Father's right hand, and is living to save all who put their trust in Him. That is why those of us who really know the Gospel never have any crucifixes around our churches or in our homes. The crucifix represents a dead Christ hanging languid on a cross of shame. But we are not pointing men to a dead Christ; we are preaching a living Christ. He lives exalted at God's right hand, and He "saves to the uttermost all who come to God by Him."
