At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.

Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known.

There is no Christianity without the cross. If the cross is not central to our religion, ours is not the religion of Jesus.

We should travel light and live simply. Our enemy is not possessions but excess.

The law requires works of human achievement; the gospel requires faith in Christ's achievement. The law makes demands and bids us obey; the gospel brings promises and bids us believe.

The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.

Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.
