Prayer is awe, intimacy, struggle-yet, the way to reality.

The product of a true, growing, gospel-centered nature is often gentleness.

Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.

If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.

God's salvation does not come in response to a changed life. A changed life comes in response to the salvation, offered as a free gift.

Revival occurs as a group of people who, on the whole, think they already know the gospel discover they do not really or fully know it, and by embracing the gospel they cross over into living faith.

Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
