The ultimate aim of the gospel is the display of God’s glory.

If at the cross every sin was covered, Satan's mouth is shut. He has no weapon. He can gum you but his fangs are gone.

Don't wait for a feeling or love in order to share Christ with a stranger. You already love your heavenly Father, and you know that this stranger is created by Him, but separated from Him... so take those first steps in evangelism because you love God. It is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for God.

At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.

The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God.

If grace is to be free - which is the very meaning of grace - we cannot view it as something to be repaid.

Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement!
