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

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

Nothing is more important for mature Christian discipleship than a fresh, clear, true vision of the authentic Jesus.

God intends us to penetrate the world. Christian salt has no business to remain snugly in elegant little ecclesiastical salt cellars; our place is to be rubbed into the secular community, as salt is rubbed into meat, to stop it going bad. And when society does go bad, we Christians tend to throw up our hands in pious horror and reproach the non-Christian world; but should we not rather reproach ourselves? One can hardly blame unsalted meat for going bad. It cannot do anything else. The real question to ask is: Where is the salt?

Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.

Scripture is the royal scepter by which King Jesus rules his church

Truth without love is too hard; love without truth is too soft.
