Marriage does not so much bring you into confrontation with your spouse as confront you with yourself.

Because sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge just as each son sought to displace the authority of the father in his own life.

Putting our faith in Christ is not about trying harder; it means transferring our trust away from ourselves and resting in him.

The Bible judges the church; the church does not judge the Bible. The Bible is the foundation for and the creator of the church; the church is not the foundation for or creator of the Bible. The church and its hierarchy must be evaluated by the believer with the biblical gospel as the touchstone or plumb line for judging all truth claims.

If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.

All change comes from deepening your understanding of the salvation of Christ and living out the changes that understanding creates in your heart.

The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.
