The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist; apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.

Regeneration is a work of the omnipotent power of God, power that nothing can overcome or resist.

Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.

The complaint that church is boring is never made by people in awe.

The only righteousness that meets the requirements of the Law is the righteousness of Christ.

God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.

God does not rule by the consent of His subjects but by His sovereign authority. His reign extends over me whether I vote for Him or not.
