The cross is the place where the Judge takes the Judgment.

Only in Jesus Christ do we see how the untamable, infinite God can become a baby and a loving Savior. On the cross we see how both the love and the holiness of God can be fulfilled at once.

Important reminder: It's not fair of you to demand more proof of Christians for their beliefs than you demand for your own.

Christ literally walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction. Those who will not help others until they are destitute reveal that Christ's love has not yet turned them into the sympathetic persons the gospel should make them.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

The most liberating act of free, unconditional grace demands that the recipient give up control of his or her life.

You should not begin to pray for all you want until you realize that in God you have all you need.
