There is nothing that could be revealed about a pastor that has not already been covered by the blood of Jesus

Theology without love simply is very bad theology.

Foolishness is more than being stupid, that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance.

Only love for Christ has the power to incapacitate the sturdy love for self that is the bane of every sinner, and only the grace of Christ has the power to produce that love.

Embedded in the larger story of redemption is a principle we must not miss: God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things in the lives of others.

It is a sweet thing that we serve a dissatisfied God who has destinations in mind for us that we would never choose for ourselves. It really is a good thing that he will not be satisfied until he has gotten us exactly where he created us and re-created us to be. Most of us would have been satisfied to stay at home, and many of us would have quit the journey long before it was completed. But our heavenly Father won't give up until each one of his children has completed the journey.

When your sin is exposed, you will run toward confession and forgiveness or self-righteousness and self-justification.
