Christianity doesn't offer a smooth flight; it provides a safe landing. The promise of Jesus is not one of happiness, He promises righteousness.

If you are not concerned about your neighbor's salvation, then I am concerned for yours.

Preachers who talk about everything but the reality of Hell, are likeable betrayers of the Gospel.

Atheists who keep asking for evidence of God's existence are like a fish in the ocean wanting evidence of water.

Any good that comes our way doesn't come to us solely because we have done something good, but because God is good.

Instead of preaching the good news that sinners can be made righteous in Christ and escape the wrath to come, the gospel has degenerated into the pretext that we can be happy in Christ and escape the hassles of life.

So we are mocked by this world when we speak of God's coming judgment against all sin, and when we plead that sinners come to the Savior to avoid Hell. But we can't give up because our task is irksome, or because we are mocked. Neither can we live self-indulgent lives, because our convictions aren't based on some man-made and fallible calculations. They are based on the immutability of the Word of God.
