If we could condense all the truths of Christmas into only three words, these would be the words: 'God with us.'

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.

Contrary to popular opinion, the most important characteristic of a godly mother is not her relationship with her children. It is her love for her husband. The love between husband and wife is the real key to a thriving family. A healthy home environment cannot be built exclusively on the parents' love for their children. The properly situated family has marriage at the center; families shouldn't revolve around the children.

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

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

You can’t confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.

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