We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.

Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once and He volunteered.

A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.

To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.

When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.

It is one thing to believe in God; it is quite another to believe God.

God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.

Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.

We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.

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.

We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.

The fact is very few men live harmoniously, while most of us survive miraculously!

You can lie to yourself about all kinds of things. Until you can't, anymore. Until reality pounds a hole through your fantasy castle and the reality check must be cashed in.

Trying to be offensive for the sole purpose of being offensive should always deem one the least offensive of offenders.

The Bible is not a script for a funeral service, but it is the record of God always bringing life where we expected to find death. Everywhere it is the story of resurrection.

Moderation is represented as a virtue in order to restrain the ambition of great men, and to console those of a meaner condition in their lesser merit and fortune.

What did John Ashcroft say about moderates, he said, quote, there are two things you find in the middle of the road, a moderate and a dead skunk and I don't want to be either.

What we have learned from other becomes our own reflection.

God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.

The most common of all antagonisms arises from a man's taking a seat beside you on the train, a seat to which he is completely entitled.

I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.
