Before I can call upon Christ as my Savior, I have to understand that I need a savior. I have to understand that I am a sinner. I have to have some understanding of what sin is.I have to understand that God exists. I have to understand that I am estranged from that God, and that I am exposed to that God's judgment. I don't reach out for a savior unless I am first convinced that I need a savior. All of that is pre-evangelism. It is involved in the data or the information that a person has to process with his mind before he can either respond to it in faith or reject it in unbelief.

To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God.

We live in a time of crisis in the secular culture and in the church with regard to the beautiful.

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

We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.

The most violent expression of God's wrath and justice is seen in the Cross. If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus. He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.

It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
