Christmas: the Son of God expressing the love of God to save us from the wrath of God so we could enjoy the presence of God.

The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is

If God were not just, there would be no demand for his Son to suffer and die. And if God were not loving, there would be no willingness for his Son to suffer and die. But God is both just and loving. Therefore his love is willing to meet the demands of his justice.

Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.

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

Servanthood does not nullify leadership; it defines it. Jesus does not cease to be the Lion of Judah when He becomes the lamblike servant of the church.

When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
