The power of the gospel lies[...] in the powerful announcement that God is God, that Jesus is Lord, that the powers of evil have been defeated, that God's new world has begun.

I really don't care too much what the different later Christian traditions say. My aim is to be faithful to Scripture.

Swords don't glorify the creator-God. Love does. Self-giving love, best of all.

The cross is the place where, and the means by which, God loved us to the uttermost.

Many Christians in the evangelical tradition use words like "conversion," "regeneration," "justification," "born-again," etc. all as more or less synonyms to mean "becoming a Christian from cold." In the classic Reformed tradition, the word "justification" is much more fine-tuned than that and has to do with a verdict which is pronounced, rather than with something happening to you in terms of actually being born again. So that I'm actually much closer to some classic Reformed writing on this than some people perhaps realize.

The Bible is the book of my life. It's the book I live with, the book I live by, the book I want to die by.

Part of Christian belief is to find out what's true about Jesus and let that challenge our culture.
