To encounter Christ is to touch reality and experience transcendence. He gives us a sense of self-worth or personal significance, because He assures us of God's love for us. He sets us free from guilt because He died for us and from paralyzing fear because He reigns. He gives meaning to marriage and home, work and leisure, personhood and citizenship.

The Spirit of God leads the people of God to submit to the Word of God.

Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.

Christian giving is to be marked by self-sacrifice and self-forgetfuln ess, not by self-congratula tion.

Prayer is the very way God Himself has chosen for us to express our conscious need of Him and our humble dependence on Him.

Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the resurrection.

We cannot be content with an evangelism which does not lead to the drawing of converts into the church, nor with a church order whose principle of cohesion is a superficial social camaraderie instead of a spiritual fellowship with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
