The gospel is not just the “ABCs” but the “A-to-Z” of the Christian life.

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.

There is no evil that the father’s love cannot pardon and cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.

Truth without love is imperious self-righteousn ess. Love without truth is cowardly self-indulgence .

I have long profited from Adele Ahlberg Calhoun's gifts in the field of spiritual development, and I am delighted that she has compiled her experience with spiritual disciplines into book form. I highly recommend it and I look forward to using it as a resource at our church.

Jesus Christ as only an example will crush you. You'll never be able to live up to it. But Jesus Christ as the Lamb will save you.

If God is treated as God during suffering, then suffering can reveal and present him in all his greatness.
