If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.

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

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.

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

God is so committed to your ultimate joy that he was willing to plunge into the greatest depths of suffering himself for you.

We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.

The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.
