In the New Testament grace means God's love in action towards men who merited the opposite of love. Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves.

God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.

His purpose is simply to draw us closer to Himself in conscious communion with Him.

There are ministers who never speak of repentance or self-denial. Naturally they are popular, but they are false prophets.

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

The truth is that, though we were justified by faith alone, the faith that justifies is never alone (it always produces fruit, 'good works,'...a transformed life).

It is Deism which depicts God as the passive onlooker rather than the active governor of His world, and which assures us that the guarantee of human freedom lies in the fact that men's actions are not under God's control. But the Bible teaches rather that the freedom of God, who works in and through His creatures, leading them to act according to their nature, is itself the foundation and guarantee of the freedom of their action.
