If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.

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

Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account. We should not therefore rate human opinion too highly.

When the Christian loses himself, he finds himself, he discovers his true identity.

The nations are not gathered in automatically. If God has promised to bless "all the families of the earth," he has promised to do so "through Abraham's seed" (Genesis 12:3, 22:18). Now we are Abraham's seed by faith, and the earth's families will be blessed only if we go to them with the gospel. That is God's plain purpose.

Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet; they cannot live together in harmony

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