The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.

The idolatry the exists in a man's heart always wants to lead him away from his Savior and back to self-reliance no matter how pitiful that self-reliance is or how many times it has betrayed him.

No one can out-sin the cross of Christ.

Worship is the way of life for those entranced by and passionate for the glory of God.

While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him. If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven.

If you're not confident in the authority of the Scriptures, you will be a slave to what sounds right.
