The power of the gospel is the word of God . . . nobody needs a gospel if there’s no judgment, or law, if God is not a God of judgment. If there is no such thing as hell, what good is the gospel?

In Reformed theology, if God is not sovereign over the entire created order, then he is not sovereign at all. The term sovereignty too easily becomes a chimera. If God is not sovereign, then he is not God.

The cross was a glorious outworking of the grace of God, by which the Father commissioned the Son to make full satisfaction so that sinners might be saved with no sacrifice of God’s justice.

Most Christians salute the sovereignty of God but believe in the sovereignty of man.

Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.

The irony of New Testament lordship is that only in slavery to Christ can a man discover authentic freedom.

God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.
