The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.

Our first priority in ministry must be love. Love for His Word, love for His people, and love for His appearing.

God has chosen us. Our status is not a matter of our worthiness, but of His love.

It's the centrality of the Word and not the person who preaches it that's important.

This, then, is the foundation of sanctification in Reformed theology. It is rooted, not in humanity and their achievement of holiness or sanctification, but in what God has done in Christ, and for us in union with him. Rather than view Christians first and foremost in the microcosmic context of their own progress, the Reformed doctrine first of all sets them in the macrocosm of God's activity in redemptive history. It is seeing oneself in this context that enables the individual Christian to grow in true holiness.

God is God; you are but one of His creatures. Your only joy is to be found in obeying Him, your true fulfillment is to be found in worshiping Him, your only wisdom is to be found in trusting and knowing Him.

We discover the will of God by a sensitive application of Scripture to our own lives.
