True faith takes its character and quality from its object. Its strength therefore depends on the character of Christ. Even those of us who have weak faith have the same strong Christ as others!

If you are justified, you can no more be unjustified than Christ can be pulled down from heaven.

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

The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional ("I feel full of worship" or "The atmosphere is so worshipful"). Actually, it is theological. Worship is not something we "work up," it is something that "comes down" to us, from the character of God.

Repentance is a characteristic of the whole life, not the action of a single moment.

For worship is, essentially, the reverse of sin. Sin began (and begins) when we succumb to the temptation, "You shall be as gods." We make ourselves the center of the universe and dethrone God. By contrast, worship is giving God his true worth; it is acknowledging Him to be the Lord of all things, and the Lord of everything in our lives. He is, indeed, the Most High God!

We are far too good at analyzing what is wrong with the culture and far too myopic at analyzing what is wrong in the church.
