In salvation we are not only saved from sin and damnation; we are saved unto holiness. The goal of redemption is holiness.

If God did not act first, no one would be saved.

God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious.

Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves from God.

A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.

Was Luther crazy? Perhaps. But if he was, our prayer is that God would send to this earth an epidemic of such insanity that we too may taste of the righteousness that is by faith alone.

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.
