The drug of choice in the modern age is levity. We want everything to be light and bubbly. We just want to feel good.

The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I don't believe in the end that God gave me cancer, but He certainly could have stopped it and didn't.

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.

Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation

Prayer does two things. It shows the complete sufficiency of God and the complete helplessness of man. It shows that God is not lacking, that He is in need of no thing, that He is infinitely and gloriously wealthy, that He can give to, He can bless and He can answer without the need of help from anyone or anything else. And it also shows that we are in desperate need of that kind of sufficiency.

A Church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained; she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from The Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise- the only proper response to the God who saves us.
