We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.

We may live in a culture that believes everyone will be saved, that we are 'justified by death' and all you need to do to go to heaven is die, but God’s Word certainly doesn’t give us the luxury of believing that.

One does not structure the church to meet the felt needs and desires of the tares. The purpose of corporate assembly, which has its roots in the Old Testament, is for the people of God to come together corporately to offer their sacrifices of praise and worship to God. So the first rule of worship is that it be designed for believers to worship God in a way that pleases God.

One can have knowledge without having wisdom, but one cannot have wisdom without having knowledge.

The failure of modern evangelicalism is the failure to understand the holiness of God.

God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.

As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.
