Bad theology dishonors God and hurts people.

Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.

The highest meaning and the most ultimate purpose of marriage is to put the covenant relationship of Christ and his church on display. That is why marriage exists. If you are married, that is why you are married. If you hope to be, that should be your dream.

If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.

This assumes that the glory of Christ is our highest treasure, not health, wealth, family or even life. So preaching must continually show not that Jesus is the means to prosperity but that he is better than prosperity.

Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.

Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'
