When one encounters truth, one encounters the God whose truth it is.

The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.

Christ exposed Himself not only to the unbridled hostility of angry men, but, more significantly, to the unmitigated wrath of God.

There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.

Every person needs to feel significant. We want our lives to count. We yearn to believe that in some way we are important and that hunger for significance-a drive as intense as our need for oxygen-doesn't come from pride or ego. It comes from God because he wants each of us to understand how important we are. ... We must seek our roots, our origin, and our destiny so that we can know our present value. ..... ...We can help each other realize that we are persons of significance being made in the image of God.

The more seriously we understand the radical nature of sin, the more it exercises a restraint upon us.

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