The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.

Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.

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

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 first and great evidence of our walking by the Spirit or being filled with the Spirit is not some private mystical experience of our own, but our practical relationships of love with other people.

Our claim is that God has revealed Himself by speaking; that this divine (or God-breathed) speech has been written down and preserved in Scripture; and that Scripture is, in fact, God's Word written, which therefore is true and reliable and has divine authority over men.

Do not be content with a static Christian life. Determine rather to grow in faith and love, in knowledge and holiness.
