We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.

God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.

If there is one maverick molecule in all the universe, then God is not sovereign. And if God is not sovereign, He is not God.

There is no time in human history when you were more perfectly represented than in the Garden of Eden.

It’s dangerous to assume that because a person is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. There is irony here. I am sure that the reason I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy. I am a profane man—a man who spends more time out of the temple than in it. But I have had just enough of a taste of the majesty of God to want more. I know what it means to be a forgiven man and what it means to be sent on a mission. My soul cries for more. My soul needs more.

If God did not act first, no one would be saved.

Without God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.
