When a person becomes a Christian, he doesn’t just join a local church because it’s a good habit for growing in spiritual maturity. He joins a local church because it’s the expression of what Christ has made him—a member of the body of Christ.

If joy or urgency are missing from our presentation of the gospel, then our testimony to Christ will be missing that sort of fullness that we find in the New Testament.

If you are not a member of the church you regularly attend, you may well be going to hell.

For a Christian, our fears about the future are rooted in those places where our will differs from God's will.

I don't mind talking about a football game - that's fine. I don't want Christians to be unnatural. But I do want to hear them talking fully, freely and naturally of the things of the Lord in their own lives too.

The gospel of Christ has never needed the gimmicks of man to effect conversion in the soul

Prayer is the preview of God's action.
