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.

God made everything else but man "after its kind"' - that is, according to the purpose and destiny he envisaged for it. But he made man in His own image. Man is patterned on God! He was made to represent God - in created, human form.

To be free from the possibility of discouragements would be more ‘spiritual’ than Jesus-and therefore not truly spiritual at all.

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

You must know, rest in, think through, and act upon your new identity - you are in Christ

I've often reflected on the rather obvious thought that when his disciples were about to have the world collapse in on them, our Lord spent so much time in the Upper Room speaking to them about the mystery of the Trinity. If anything could underline the necessity of Trinitarianism for practical Christianity, that must surely be it!
