I can’t make the Bible come alive for anyone. The Bible is already alive. It makes me come alive.

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

The modern movement of worship is designed to break down barriers between man and God, to remove the veil, as it were, from the fearsome holiness of God, which might cause us to tremble. It is designed to make us feel comfortable.

This means that if a person fulfills his or her vocation as a steelmaker, attorney, or homemaker coram Deo, then that person is acting every bit as religiously as a soul-winning evangelist who fulfills his vocation. It means that David was as religious when he obeyed God’s call to be a shepherd as he was when he was anointed with the special grace of kingship. It means that Jesus was every bit as religious when He worked in His father’s carpenter shop as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane.

God's graciousness is not totally removed from any individual during this lifetime. In hell, it is.

It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.

To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
