Reformed theology so far transcends the mere five points of Calvinism that it is an entire worldview.

We live in age of compromise, but if we stand on the bedrock of God’s truth, we will not bend with the winds of relativism and faithlessness.

We do not determine right or wrong based on what everybody else is doing.

When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.

Grace, by definition, is something that God is not required to grant. He owes a fallen world no mercy.

Here then is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.

For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.
