One does not structure the church to meet the felt needs and desires of the tares. The purpose of corporate assembly, which has its roots in the Old Testament, is for the people of God to come together corporately to offer their sacrifices of praise and worship to God. So the first rule of worship is that it be designed for believers to worship God in a way that pleases God.

We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.

Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.

A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.

The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.

Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced; it must also involve understanding and the mind.

The Bible alone is the only authority that can bind the conscience of a person absolutely because it is the only authority that carries with it the intrinsic authority of God Himself.
