To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God.

Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.

Even the slightest sin is an act of cosmic treason.

We live in a culture where the truth claims of Christianity are not only rejected, they are ridiculed.

He is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness. He can transform a sin-blistered man into a paragon of virtue. The Spirit changes people. The Author of life is also the Transformer of life.

The great triad of enemies for Christian growth contain the world, the flesh, and the devil.

We are able to persevere only because God works within us, within our free wills. And because God is at work in us, we are certain to persevere. The decrees of God concerning election are immutable. They do not change, because He does not change. All whom He justifies He glorifies. None of the elect has ever been lost.
