We want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin. We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father. The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized. Sin always accompanies misery. There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanity’s rebellion from God.

The Christian life is to live all of your life in the presence of God.

The truth of Scripture is meant not only to be studied-it’s meant also to be sung.

There are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can't think of any more serious delusion than that.

Whenever I read the psalms, I feel like I am eavesdropping on a saint having a personal conversation with God.

Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.

The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.
