The Christian should be able to say with the psalmist, 'Oh, how I love your law.'

God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.

We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.

It is important for us to make a distinction between the spiritual fruit of joy and the cultural concept of happiness. A Christian can have joy in his heart while there is still spiritual depression in his head. The joy that we have sustains us through these dark nights and is not quenched by spiritual depression. The joy of the Christian is one that survives all downturns in life.

The presumptuous sin of Uzzah was that He assumed his hands were less polluted than the dirt.

True faith always produces real conformity to Christ.

The moment we think we deserve mercy a little alarm bell should go off in our head because we are not talking about mercy anymore but justice.
