I'm afraid that in the United States of America today the prevailing doctrine of justification is not justification by faith alone. It is not even justification by good works or by a combination of faith and works. The prevailing notion of justification in our culture today is justification by death. All one has to do to be received into the everlasting arms of God is to die.

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

Just as the normative standard for the good and for the true is God, so the ultimate standard of beauty is God.

Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.

We cannot change God. God is unchangeable. If changes are to be made, they must be made in us.

The supreme form of cursedness is for the Lord to turn His back on you and bring judgment on you.

If God is the Creator of the entire universe, then it must follow that He is the Lord of the whole universe. No part of the world is outside of His lordship. That means that no part of my life must be outside of His lordship.
