Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.
These then are the marks of the ideal Church – love, suffering, holiness, sound doctrine, genuineness, evangelism and humility. They are what Christ desires to find in His churches as He walks among them.
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
The gospel is NOT preached if Christ is not preached.
Why is it that some Christians cross land and sea, continents and cultures, as missionaries? What on earth impels them? It is not in order to commend a civilization, an institution or an ideology, but rather a person, Jesus Christ, whom they believe to be unique.
The essence of apostasy is changing sides from that of the crucified to that of the crucifier.
No theology is genuinely Christian which does not arise from and focus on the cross.
Scripture is the royal scepter by which King Jesus rules his church.
Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the resurrection.
Faith’s only function is to receive what grace offers.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
Christianity is in its very essence a resurrection religion. The concept of resurrection lies at its heart. If you remove it, Christianity is destroyed.
Prayer is not a convenient device for imposing our will upon God, or bending his will to ours, but the prescribed way of subordinating our will to his.
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
The modern world detests authority but worships relevance. Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both authority and relevance, and that the secret of both is Jesus Christ.
Baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.
No man preaches his sermon well to others if he does not first preach it to his own heart.
