God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.

Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a 'wish' I wish that such-and-such would take place rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.

The sweetest fragrance, the most beautiful aroma that God has ever detected emanating from this planet, was the aroma of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus that was offered once and for all on the cross.

If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.

The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.

We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.

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