Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.

The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.

Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.

The Christian community is a community of the cross, for it has been brought into being by the cross, and the focus of its worship is the Lamb once slain, now glorified.

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

Ambitions for self may be quite modest. . . . Ambitions for God, however, if they are to be worthy, can never be modest. There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God. How can we ever be content that he should acquire just a little more honour in the world? No. Once we are clear that God is King, then we long to see him crowned with glory and honour, and accorded his true place, which is the supreme place. We become ambitious for the spread of his kingdom and righteousness everywhere.

Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.
