The gospel does in truth proclaim the redemption of reason. Obscurantism is always evil, and wilful error is always sin., All truth is God's truth; facts, as such, are sacred, and nothing is more un-Christian than to run away from them.

We do not make friends with God; God makes friends with us, bringing us to know him by making his love known to us... The word know, when used of God in this way, is a sovereign-grace word, pointing to God's initiative in loving, choosing, redeeming, calling and preserving.

Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord.

God made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.

What we do every time we pray is to confess our impotence and God's sovereignty.

What we often feel in ecstatic moments in this world - 'I don't ever want this to stop' - will be the constant thought of our hearts in that world. We shall think it, knowing that in fact it never WILL stop.

The gift of sonship to God becomes ours not through being born, but through being born again.
