The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.

Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.

Just as the normative standard for the good and for the true is God, so the ultimate standard of beauty is God.

Why would the disciples invent a God whose holiness was more terrifying than the forces of nature that provoked them to invent a god in the first place?

Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.

Was Luther crazy? Perhaps. But if he was, our prayer is that God would send to this earth an epidemic of such insanity that we too may taste of the righteousness that is by faith alone.

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