James says, "You desire and do not have; so you kill" (Jas. 4:2). We kill marriages and we kill unborn babies because they cut across our desires; they stand in the way of our unencumbered self-enhancement. And we live in a culture where self-enhancement and self-advancement is god. And if self-enhancement is god, then the One who is at work in the womb shaping a person in His own image is not God and the assault on His work is not sacrilegious, but obedience to the god of self.

Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.

The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.

God is not a killjoy; he just opposes what kills joy.

We are far too easily pleased.

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.

There is hope in forgiveness
