It has been said by church historians that in those periods of Christian history where renewal, revival, and awakening took place and the church was at its strongest, that coincidental with those periods in church history, there was a strong focus on the psalms in the life of God's people-particularly in the worship of God's people.

The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.

By definition, the big difference between mercy and justice is that mercy is never ever obligatory.

God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.

Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.

Perhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on God’s grace and God’s grace alone for our celebration. It is difficult for our pride to rest on grace. Grace is for other people—for beggars. We don’t want to live by a heavenly welfare system. We want to earn our own way and atone for our own sins. We like to think that we will go to heaven because we deserve to be there.

Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
