suffering way god-knows
To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.
world bigs gods-love
God's love in John 3:16 is not amazing because the world is so big, but because the world is so bad.
want knowing-god knows
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
loving-god knowing-god knows
To know God is to be transformed, and thus to be introduced to a life that could not otherwise be experienced.
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.
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.
god wrestle
God is a talking God, and thus you must come to wrestle with him. You must wrestle with what he said.
believes beyond bible christians history strongly work
No one believes more strongly than I do that every Christian should be a theologian. In that sense, we all need to work it out. I want all Christians who can read, to read their Bibles and to read beyond the Bible - to read the history and theology.
gospel itself
The Gospel itself is angular. It always has been. It always conflicts. It always challenges every generation. It challenges different generations in different ways.
scripture new-testament
The New Testament writers did not invent a doctrine of Scripture they inherited it.
jesus father nails
It was not nails that held Jesus to that wretched cross; it was his unqualified resolution, out of love for his Father, to do his Father's will-and it was his love for sinners like me.
spiritual prayer praying
We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.
christian practice church
How much would our churches be transformed if each of us made it a practice to thank God for others and then to tell those others what it is about them that we thank God for?
mean opinion lost
We are lost when human opinion means more to us than God’s.
