We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.

Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.

God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.

In the culture of pluralism...the only thing that cannot be tolerated is a claim to exclusivity.

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.

One might pray and not be a Christian, but one cannot be a Christian and not pray.

It’s dangerous to assume that because a person is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. There is irony here. I am sure that the reason I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy. I am a profane man—a man who spends more time out of the temple than in it. But I have had just enough of a taste of the majesty of God to want more. I know what it means to be a forgiven man and what it means to be sent on a mission. My soul cries for more. My soul needs more.
