Surveys show that more than 50 percent of people in the U.S. have prayed the sinner's prayer and think they're going to heaven because of it even though there is no detectable difference in their lifestyles from those outside of the church. On this issue- the most important issue on earth- we have to be absolutely clear. We need to preach salvation by repentance before God and faith in the finished work of Christ.

True worship is obedience to God for no other reason than that you delight in God.

In Christ, there is nothing I can do that would make You love me more and nothing I have done that makes You love me less.

If you want to be led by the Spirit of God, then devote yourself to the Word of God.

God sometimes answers our prayers by giving us what we would have asked for had we known what He knows.

Worry springs from not being convinced of a sovereign God's absolute love for you. Worry disappears when you realize that God loves you unfailingly and will let nothing interrupt His plans for your good.

We are changed not by being told what we need to do for God, but by hearing the news about what God has done for us.
