To despise doctrine is to despise the Word of God.

Give me the biblical Christ or give me nothing.

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

Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.

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

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

The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.
