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.
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.
The human dilemma is this: God is Holy and we are not. God is Righteous and we are not.
The failure of modern evangelicalism is the failure to understand the holiness of God.
The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
The worst sin against stewardship is to waste your life.
If God is not sovereign, God is not God.
God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.
Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.
