For the soul of a person to be inflamed with passion for the living God, that person's mind must first be informed about the character and will of God. There can be nothing in the heart that is not first in the mind. Though it is possible to have theology on the head without its piercing the soul, it cannot pierce the soul without first being grasped by the mind.

The neutral view of free will is impossible. It involves choice without desire.

Your task, O preacher, is to make sure that you are faithful to the text, that you are faithful to the proclamation of that gospel, that you are faithful to set forth the whole counsel of God, and then step back and let it happen.

We've replaced the proclamation of Christ with an easy-listening legalism of do more and try harder.

Apostasy occurs when a church leaves its historic moorings, abandons its historic confessional position, and degenerates into a state where either essential Christian truths are blatantly denied or the denial of such truths is widely tolerated.

The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.

This little expression, 'It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere,' is a monstrous lie.
