A Christian is not a skeptic. A Christian is a person with a burning heart, a heart set aflame with certainty of the resurrection.

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

The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.

Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.

Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced; it must also involve understanding and the mind.

A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.
