Even if 80 percent of the population of a country are Christian believers, they will have almost no cultural influence if the Christians do not live in cultural centers and work in culture-forging fields such as academia, publishing, media, entertainment, and the arts. The assumption that society will improve simply be more Christian believers being present is no longer valid.

Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.

Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.

The gospel shows a God far more holy than the legalist can bear, yet far more merciful than a humanist can conceive

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

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.

Humility is so shy. If you begin talking about it, it leaves.
