First open your heart, then open your Bible.

I believe in the five solas. One hundred percent believe in the five solas. And I am - to those of you who know about this - I'm a monergist [someone that believes in the doctrine that says spiritual renewal is exclusively the activity of the Holy Spirit].

You can like somebody without agreeing with all of their policies.

Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.

After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.

My first reaction in pastoral care is not to explain. And again, I don't think the primary purpose of the Bible is to explain suffering. I never have, because the actual explanations are often inadequate. I think the primary purpose of Scripture is to say I am all you need in this suffering and I need comfort.

If someone broke your heart it doesn't mean you should build a wall around it and quit loving. Redirect your love.
