Why is it that some Christians cross land and sea, continents and cultures, as missionaries? What on earth impels them? It is not in order to commend a civilization, an institution or an ideology, but rather a person, Jesus Christ, whom they believe to be unique.

Christian giving is to be marked by self-sacrifice and self-forgetfuln ess, not by self-congratula tion.

The essence of apostasy is changing sides from that of the crucified to that of the crucifier.

Biblical righteousness is more than a private and personal affair; it includes social righteousness as well....Thus Christians are committed to hunger for righteousness in the whole human community as something pleasing to a righteous God.

Don't neglect your critical faculties. Remember that God is a rational God, who has made us in His own image. God invites and expects us to explore His double revelation, in nature and Scripture, with the minds He has given us, and to go on in the development of a Christian mind to apply His marvellous revealed truth to every aspect of the modern and post-modern world.

Prayer is the very way God Himself has chosen for us to express our conscious need of Him and our humble dependence on Him.

Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
