No human being...is ever conceived outside God's will or ever conceived apart from God's image. Life is a gift from God created in His own image.

Jesus Christ is not just 'my personal Savior'. He is Lord.

I am a free man, the slave of Christ.

If I’m not showing grace . . . have I forgotten the grace I’ve been shown?

The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.

It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior.

Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.
