The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.

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.

If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.

I'll retire when they pry my cold, dead fingers off of my Bible.

People need a consistent explanation of the cross of Christ and what it accomplished. Christ's atoning work is the centerpiece of the gospel and the only solution for humanity's estrangement from our Creator.

At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.

We tend to have mixed feelings about the holy. There is a sense in which we are at the same time attracted to it and repulsed by it. Something draws us toward it, while at the same time we want to run away from it. We can’t seem to decide which way we want it. Part of us yearns for the holy, while part of us despises it. We can’t live with it, and we can’t live without it.
