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

Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God

The more seriously we understand the radical nature of sin, the more it exercises a restraint upon us.

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.

Before I can call upon Christ as my Savior, I have to understand that I need a savior. I have to understand that I am a sinner. I have to have some understanding of what sin is.I have to understand that God exists. I have to understand that I am estranged from that God, and that I am exposed to that God's judgment. I don't reach out for a savior unless I am first convinced that I need a savior. All of that is pre-evangelism. It is involved in the data or the information that a person has to process with his mind before he can either respond to it in faith or reject it in unbelief.

Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.

Truth is too important to kill it in the streets for the sake of peace.
