The Bible’s Authority in the Believer’s Life
If God is the creator of all things, and if the Bible has his seal of truth and power, then the Bible has the right to interrogate my life and culture, and not the other way around.

The Greatest Mystery of All
God is by far the greatest mystery of all. Yet we keep imagining we can understand both him and his ways.
God Is All We Need
God is all we need, and therefore all we ought to desire. To be even more specific, all we need is Jesus. God does not offer us His Son as a better way of getting what we want. No, God gives us Jesus and says, “Here, even if you don’t realize it, He is all you really need.” When we come to Jesus, we receive the forgiveness of our sins through His death and resurrection. We receive the promise of eternal life with God. We receive the promise that He will never leave us or forsake us, that He will help us through all the trials of life. What else do we need?
No One to Love
If Jesus did not love sinners, there would be no one for Him to love.
attributed to Alexander Maclaren
Do All to the Glory of God
You glorify God by needing him, by asking him for help, and by counting on him.

God Is Pleased with You in and because of Jesus Christ
God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in him he is altogether well pleased with us.
Christ or Chaos
The choice before us is plain, Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as American citizens. The time is come, it now is, when we ought to hear about the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. America’s future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God’s government.

God, the Great Gardener
The great Master Gardener in his wonderful providence has planted me in this part of his vineyard by his grace, and here I grow and abide till the great Master of the vineyard thinks it fit to transplant me.

The Word Was and Is God
The Bible from Genesis to Revelation presents a stupendous view of God, and then it tells us that Jesus Christ is all that God is.
