A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian has a theology. The issue, then, is not, dowe want to have a theology? That's a given. The real issue is, do we have a sound theology.? Do we embrace true or false doctrine?
The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.
To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
God does not rule by the consent of His subjects but by His sovereign authority. His reign extends over me whether I vote for Him or not.
Right now counts forever.
Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.
To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God.
If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.
The human dilemma is this: God is Holy and we are not. God is Righteous and we are not.
To solve a marriage problem, you have to talk with each other about it, choosing wisely the time and place. But when accusations and lengthy speeches of defense fill the dialogue, the partners are not talking to each other but past each other. Take care to listen more than you speak. If you still can't agree on a solution, consider asking a third party, without a vested interest, to mediate.
The failure of modern evangelicalism is the failure to understand the holiness of God.
