The determining factor of my existence is no longer my past.

You cannot open the pages of the New Testament without realizing that one of the things that makes it so 'new,' in every way, is that here men and women call God 'Father.' This conviction, that we can speak of the Master of the universe in such intimate terms, lies at the heart of the Christian faith.

The foundation of our love for the Lord lies in the recognition of His holiness, our sinfulness, and His grace.

Our thinking about who we are as Christians should not begin with what we can discover about ourselves by self-analysis. Rather, it begins with what God says about those who trust in Christ.

No short-cut that tries to bypass the patient unfolding of the true character of God, and our relationship to him as his children, can ever succeed in providing long-term spiritual therapy.

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

The true church is too different for the world to tolerate it.
