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.

God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.

Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.

The command to judge not is not a requirement to be blind, but rather a plea to be generous. Jesus does not tell us to cease to be men... but to renounce the presumptuous ambition to be God.

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

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

There is evidence for the deity of Jesus -- good, strong, historical , cumulative evidence; evidence to which an honest person can subscribe without committing intellectual suicide.
