Prayer is not optional for the Christian; it is required.

There’s a long and sacred history of the use of X to symbolize the name of Christ, and from its origin, it has meant no disrespect.

Here then is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.

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

Humanism was not invented by man, but by a snake who suggested that the quest for autonomy might be a good idea.

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.

We have to find in Christ, not a mask that conceals our face, but an entire wardrobe of clothing, which is His righteousness.
