Good works are indispensable to salvation - not as its ground or means, however, but as its consequence and evidence.

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

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.

The Christian life is not just our own private affair. If we have been born again into God's family, not only has he become our Father but every other Christian believer in the world, whatever his nation or denomination, has become our brother or sister in Christ. But it is no good supposing that membership of the universal Church of Christ is enough; we must belong to some local branch of it. Every Christian's place is in a local church. sharing in its worship, its fellowship, and its witness.

Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.

A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.

For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God [Gen. 3:1-7], while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man [2 Cor. 5:21]. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
