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

These then are the marks of the ideal Church - love, suffering, holiness, sound doctrine, genuineness, evangelism and humility. They are what Christ desires to find in His churches as He walks among them.

The Christian community is a community of the cross, for it has been brought into being by the cross, and the focus of its worship is the Lamb once slain, now glorified.

Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.

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

The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.

The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
