Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God either, and it is an easily observable fact that for countless numbers of persons the change from no-faith to faith makes no actual difference in the life.

All paths lead to God, but only one path will present you before God without fault and with great joy. Pick a path, any path—it will take you to God. Trust me: you will stand before Him one day. You will meet your Maker. You will see the face of Christ. There are many ways up the mountain, but only one will result in life instead of destruction.

The world provides no cheerleaders on the pathway to godliness.

Our God is righteous enough to judge and kind enough to forgive.

On the last day, God will not acquit us because our good works were good enough, but he will look for evidence that our good confession was not phony. It’s in this sense that we must be holy.

The goal of a church is not to have a bigger building or budget but to see the word of God increase and disciples multiply

Grace does not lead us to overlook obedience. Grace compels and empowers us for obedience.
