Every one of us loves Pauline theology, but few of us want Pauline pain.

There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, "Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue." There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.

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

Your approval before God is woven into the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, not what other men and women think about you.

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

If you want to grow in true wisdom, grow in a knowledge of the God of the Bible.

We’ve got to get past this idea that God is most glorified when we’re rich, healthy and wealthy and we go, “Isn’t God grand? Look at all He gave me.” Because if anybody joins us in that and says, “Oh, if you love Jesus, you get a house and health and cars? Then I love Jesus too.” Because then all of a sudden you’ve got a different religion. You have the religion of cars and houses, not God.
