In Reformed theology, if God is not sovereign over the entire created order, then he is not sovereign at all. The term sovereignty too easily becomes a chimera. If God is not sovereign, then he is not God.

The power of the gospel is the word of God . . . nobody needs a gospel if there’s no judgment, or law, if God is not a God of judgment. If there is no such thing as hell, what good is the gospel?

The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.

It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.

We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.

A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.

The only cure for anxiety is to get down on our knees.
