When we worry we are saying, 'I know the way my life is supposed to go, and God's not getting it right'.

The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.

If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing.

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.

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

In short, the enlightenment privatized marriage, taking it out of the public sphere, and redefined its purpose as individual gratification, not any 'broader good' such as reflecting God's nature, producing character, or raising children. Slowly but surely, this newer understanding of the meaning of marriage has displaced the older ones in Western culture.

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.
