lonely teaching effectiveness
Effectiveness in teaching the Bible is purchased at the price of much study, some of it lonely, all of it tiring.
joy holy obedience
If the text is God's Word, it is appropriate that we respond with reverence, a certain fear, a holy joy, a questing obedience.
creator-god honor moral
Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.
liberty genuine please
True freedom is not the liberty to do anything we please, but the liberty to do what we ought; and it is genuine liberty because doing what we ought now pleases us
christian jesus jobs
What binds us together is not common education, common race, common income levels, common politics, common nationality, common accents, common jobs, or anything else of that sort. Christians come together because they have all been loved by Jesus himself. They are a band of natural enemies who love one another for Jesus' sake.
arrogance crosses humans
The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
prayer approval reputation
The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.
wrath wish looks
Do you wish to see God's love? Look at the cross. Do you wish to see God's wrath? Look at the cross.
christian evidence-of-god crosses
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.
humble doe ought
That God normally operates the universe consistently makes science possible; that he does not always do so ought to keep science humble.
proof pretext
A text without a context is a pretext for a proof text.
encouragement teaching effort
The broader problem is that a great deal of popular preaching and teaching uses the bible as a pegboard on which to hang a fair bit of Christianized pop psychology or moralizing encouragement, with very little effort to teach the faithful, from the Bible, the massive doctrines of historic confessional Christianity.
waiting disaster persons
A prayerless person is a disaster waiting to happen.
looks want judgment
If you want to see what judgment looks like, go to the cross. If you want to see what love looks like, go to the cross.
