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.

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

Sometimes we emulate the Pharisees more than we imitate Christ.

To honor God as God, we must worship Him as He and He alone decrees.

Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads

Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.

The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
