We are puzzled and bewildered whenever we see suffering in this world because we have become accustomed to the mercy and the long-suffering of God. Amazing grace is no longer amazing to us.

We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.

We live in a culture where the truth claims of Christianity are not only rejected, they are ridiculed.

The irony of New Testament lordship is that only in slavery to Christ can a man discover authentic freedom.

No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.

God is the foundation of all authority, He exercises that foundation because He is the author and the owner of His creation. He is the foundation upon which all other authority stands or falls.

The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.
