Tolerance is not the absence of belief. Tolerance is how your beliefs teach you to treat other people

Every one of our sinful actions has a suicidal power on the faculties that put that action forth. When you sin with the mind, that sin shrivels the rationality. When you sin with the heart or the emotions, that sin shrivels the emotions. When you sin with the will, that sin destroys and dissolves your willpower and your self-control. Sin is the suicidal action of the self against itself. Sin destroys freedom because sin is an enslaving power.

A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.

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

Gifts are abilities God gives us to meet the needs of others in Christ’s name.

The gospel has supernatural versatility to address the particular hopes, fears, and idols of every culture and every person.

Jesus Christ, who had all the power in the world, saw us enslaved by the very things we thought would free us ... He laid aside the infinities and immensities of His being and, at the cost of His life, paid the debt for our sins, purchasing us the only place our hearts can rest, in His Father's house. Knowing He did this will transform us from the inside out.
