Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him... To love a holy God requires grace, grace strong enough to pierce our hardened hearts and awaken our moribund souls.

The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news.

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

The only cure for anxiety is to get down on our knees.

The only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.

One does not structure the church to meet the felt needs and desires of the tares. The purpose of corporate assembly, which has its roots in the Old Testament, is for the people of God to come together corporately to offer their sacrifices of praise and worship to God. So the first rule of worship is that it be designed for believers to worship God in a way that pleases God.

When one encounters truth, one encounters the God whose truth it is.
