The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional...it is theological.

Thankfulness grows best in the seed-bed of conviction, just as some plants must be placed in the soil in the winter if they are to flower in the summer.

Jesus undid everything that Adam did, and did everything Adam failed to do.

The goal of theology is the worship of God. The posture of theology is on one's knees. The mode of theology is repentance.

Spiritual growth depends on two things: first a willingness to live according to the Word of God; second, a willingness to take whatever consequences emerge as a result.

There are actually only ever two pastoral problems you will ever encounter. The first is this: persuading those who are under the dominion of sin that they are under the dominion of sin. That's the task of evangelism. And [second], persuading those who are no longer under the dominion of sin that they are no longer under the dominion of sin because they're Christ's.

Until we acknowledge our sin and guilt, we will never come to discover that it can be forgiven.
