It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.

God does not rule by the consent of His subjects but by His sovereign authority. His reign extends over me whether I vote for Him or not.

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.

The atonement is a multifaceted event-Jesus is shown providing surety for our debt to God, mediating the enmity between us and God, and offering Himself as a substitute to suffer God's judgment in our place.

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

To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.

Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.
