The only righteousness that meets the requirements of the Law is the righteousness of Christ.

Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads

Why do those who keep insisting Jesus hung out with sinners also keep insisting there's no such thing as sin?

A Christian is not a skeptic. A Christian is a person with a burning heart, a heart set aflame with certainty of the resurrection.

The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.

The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.

Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
