We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.

Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.

God has clothed His thoughts in words, and there is no way to know Him except by knowing the Scriptures.

The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are both costly exercises. All authentic Christian peacemaking exhibits the love and justice-and so the pain-of the cross.

The Cross is the blazing fire at which the flame of our love is kindled, but we have to get near enough for its sparks to fall on us.

It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.

The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
