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

I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.

If there ever was a time when absolutely nothing existed, all there could possibly be now is nothing.

We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.

We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.

It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.

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