I believe that to preach or to expound the scripture is to open up the inspired text with such faithfulness and sensitivity that God’s voice is heard and His people obey Him

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

All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousn ess, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.

Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.

...The first and great evidence of our walking by the Spirit or being filled with the Spirit is not some private mystical experience of our own, but our practical relationships of love with other people.

Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.

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