The essence of Christianity is centered upon the Lord Jesus Christ. The sum and substance of being a Christian is trusting Christ with the entirety of one's being. The height of the Christian life is adoring Christ, the depth of it loving Him, the breadth of it obeying Him, and the length of it following Him. Everything in the Christian life revolves around Jesus Christ. Simply put, Christianity is Christ.

Until we have the right knowledge of God, the knowledge of self and our need for grace remains distorted.

New truth is old heresy.

Hell is a real place, more real than the city in which you live, much hotter and more populated.

Grace has uprooted us from a barren wilderness of sin and transplanted us by streams of living water.

Unless the Holy Ghost blesses the Word, we who preach the gospel are of all men most miserable, for we have attempted a task that is impossible. We have entered on a sphere where nothing but the supernatural will ever avail. If the Holy Spirit does not renew the hearts of our hearers, we cannot do it. If the Holy Ghost does not regenerate them, we cannot. If He does not send the truth home into their souls, we might as well speak into the ear of a corpse.

The pursuit of holiness is always on the path of obedience to the Word, never apart from it.
