In the culture of pluralism...the only thing that cannot be tolerated is a claim to exclusivity.

I’ve often wondered where Jesus would apply His hastily made whip if He were to visit our culture. My guess is that it would not be money-changing tables in the temple that would feel His wrath, but the display racks in Christian bookstores.

Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.

To be a Christian is to be a theologian-a student of God and his will. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church.

We take comfort, however, that mystery is not a synonym for contradiction.

God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.

The power of the gospel is the word of God . . . nobody needs a gospel if there’s no judgment, or law, if God is not a God of judgment. If there is no such thing as hell, what good is the gospel?
