Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.

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

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

Change marriage and you change the world. Convince people that government, not God, lays down the rules for marriage, and they will believe more strongly that they determine right and wrong, that not even the world's rulers are subject to a higher authority.

By definition, the big difference between mercy and justice is that mercy is never ever obligatory.

We have no right to come before God at all, apart from the finished work of Christ.

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.
