If there is one maverick molecule in all the universe, then God is not sovereign. And if God is not sovereign, He is not God.

It is superstitious to equate our feelings and inclinations with the leading of the Holy Spirit.

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.

Touching His human nature, Jesus is no longer present with us. Touching his Divine nature, He is never absent from us.

If there is one maverick molecule in all the universe, then God is not sovereign. And if God is not sovereign, He is not God.

Every person needs to feel significant. We want our lives to count. We yearn to believe that in some way we are important and that hunger for significance-a drive as intense as our need for oxygen-doesn't come from pride or ego. It comes from God because he wants each of us to understand how important we are. ... We must seek our roots, our origin, and our destiny so that we can know our present value. ..... ...We can help each other realize that we are persons of significance being made in the image of God.

Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.
