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

The neutral view of free will is impossible. It involves choice without desire.

In Reformed theology, if God is not sovereign over the entire created order, then he is not sovereign at all. The term sovereignty too easily becomes a chimera. If God is not sovereign, then he is not God.

Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.

Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.

Grace and mercy are never deserved.

What better evidence could there be of a man's salvation than that he offers to others the grace he himself has received?
