The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.

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

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.

The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.

To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.

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

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.
