The conviction that Christian doctrine matters for Christian living is one of the most important growth points of the Christian life.

We best defend the Lord's glory by speaking first TO Him about unbelieving men rather than speaking first ABOUT Him to unbelieving men.

Most Christians have more Bibles than they know what to do with, but have little understanding of what is in them.

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

Contentment is an undervalued grace.

The only thing of my very own which I contribute to my redemption is the sin from which I need to be redeemed.

Appearances can be deceptive. The fact that we cannot see what God is doing does not mean that He is doing nothing. The Lord has His own timetable. It is we who must learn to adjust to it, not vice versa. When God's time comes nothing will stand in His way. We can therefore wait for Him with this happy confidence: "As for God, His way is perfect" (2 Samuel 22:31).
