We never move on FROM the Gospel, we move on IN the Gospel

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

If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it's bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited.

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.

Confidence that one's impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.

The biblical authors wrote of God's sovereignty over His world, and of man's experiences within that world, using such modes of speech about the natural order and human experience as were current in their days, and in a language that was common to themselves and their contemporaries. This is saying no more than that they wrote to be understood. Their picture of the world and things in it is not put forward as normative for later science, andy more than their use of Hebrew and Greek is put forward as a perfect model for composition in these languages.
