Preachers must always fight the temptation to preach anything but Christ and Him crucified.

Touching His human nature, Jesus is no longer present with us. Touching his Divine nature, He is never absent from us.

The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.

The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.

By definition, the big difference between mercy and justice is that mercy is never ever obligatory.

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

It’s dangerous to assume that because a person is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. There is irony here. I am sure that the reason I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy. I am a profane man—a man who spends more time out of the temple than in it. But I have had just enough of a taste of the majesty of God to want more. I know what it means to be a forgiven man and what it means to be sent on a mission. My soul cries for more. My soul needs more.
