Scripture is the royal scepter by which King Jesus rules his church
Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.
The gospel is NOT preached if Christ is not preached.
All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousn ess, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical; conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself. He bore the judgment we deserve in order to bring us the forgiveness we do not deserve. On the cross divine mercy and justice were equally expressed and eternally reconciled. God's holy love was 'satisfied.'
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
God has clothed His thoughts in words, and there is no way to know Him except by knowing the Scriptures.
When we look at the cross we see the justice, love, wisdom and power of God. It is not easy to decide which is the most luminously revealed, whether the justice of God in judging sin, or the love of God in bearing the judgment in our place, or the wisdom of God in perfectly combining the two, or the power of God in saving those who believe. For the cross is equally an act, and therefore a demonstration, of God’s justice, love, wisdom and power. The cross assures us that this God is the reality within, behind and beyond the universe.
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
Here's how to determine God's will for your life: Go wherever your gifts will be exploited the most.
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
Faith, Hope & Love. Faith is directed towards God, love towards others (both within the Christian fellowship and beyond it) and hope towards the future, in particular, the glorious coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Similarly, faith rests of the past; love works in the present; hope looks to the future. Every Christian without exception is a believer, a lover and a hoper. Faith, hope and love are three sure evidences of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.
We are sent into the world, like Jesus, to serve. For this is the natural expression of our love for our neighbors. We love. We go. We serve.
The cross is not just a badge to identify us...it is also the compass which gives us our bearings in a disoriented world.
Do not be content with a static Christian life. Determine rather to grow in faith and love, in knowledge and holiness.
Truth without love is too hard; love without truth is too soft.
We should travel light and live simply. Our enemy is not possessions but excess.
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
We do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to come: he came on the day of Pentecost. He has never left the church.
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
