How do we bring glory to God? The Bible’s short answer is: by growing more and more like Jesus Christ.

The notion that we are children of God, his own sons and daughters, lies at the heart of all Christian theology, and is the mainspring of all Christian living.

Thinking that I deserve heaven is a sure sign I have no understanding of the gospel.

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.

The problem is not in the clarity of the revelation. The problem is in the darkness of the human mind.

My security as a Christian does not reside in the strength of my faith but in the indestructibili ty of my Savior.

When I know that Christ is the one real sacrifice for my sins, that His work on my behalf has been accepted by God, that He is my heavenly Intercessor - then His blood is the antidote to the poison in the voices that echo in my conscience, condemning me for my many failures. Indeed, Christ's shed blood chokes them into silence!
