God's love is an exercise of his goodness toward sinners who merit only condemnation.

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

Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always.

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.

The preachers commission is to declare the whole counsel of God; but the cross is the center of that counsel.

There is tremendous relief in knowing that His love to me is based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me.

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