Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.

We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.

We live and die; Christ died and lived!

God does not love us because Christ died for us; Christ died for us because God loved us.

Before we can begin to see the cross as something done for us, we have to see it as something done by us.

Do we claim to believe in God? He's a missionary God. You tell me you're committed to Christ. He's a missionary Christ. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? He's a missionary Spirit. Do you belong to the church? It's a missionary society. And do you hope to go to heaven when you die? It's a heaven into which the fruits of world mission have been and will be gathered.

All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
