To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.

If God is not sovereign, God is not God.

When we behold the face of God, all memories of pain and suffering will vanish. Our souls shall be totally healed.

Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.

We want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin. We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father. The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized. Sin always accompanies misery. There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanity’s rebellion from God.

Touching His human nature, Jesus is no longer present with us. Touching his Divine nature, He is never absent from us.

Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
