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

People only have true understanding when they look at everything from God's perspective. Authentic wisdom begins when we understand that God is to be the object of our devotion, our adoration, and our reverence.

The gospel of Jesus Christ must be defended in every generation. It is always the center of attack by the forces of evil.

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.

There is nothing more foreign, more alien, to our nature than holiness.

There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
