I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible. Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures.

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

The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness. That is, when we are in the presence of God, we are humbled and become most aware of ourselves as creatures. This is the opposite of Satan's original temptation, "You shall be as gods.

The glory of the gospel is this: The one from whom we need to be saved is the one who has saved us.

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

Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.

The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
