Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.

To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.

The issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God, but whether we believe the God we believe in. (p.35)

God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.

The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.

Without God man has no reference point to define himself.

It is imperative that the Christian, at the beginning of his pursuit to understand what true worship is, gets it clear that the object of our worship is to be God and God alone.
