The real test that I believe that God is love is that tragedies don't separate me from the conviction that God is love.

Worship is not something we "work up," it is something that "comes down" to us, from the character of God.

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

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

The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional...it is theological.

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!

Remember that you are not saved by increased levels of holiness, however desirable it is that you should reach them. ...It is Christ who saves us-through faith. Your faith is a poor and crumbling thing, as is your spiritual service. Jesus Christ alone is qualified and able to save you because of what He has done.
