There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath.
Without God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.
What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?
When you feel depressed, it helps to actively change your environment. Go and do something different. Martin Luther conquered his depression by going outside to work in his garden. Surprisingly enough, one of the best ways to handle depression is to go to work immediately on the task you least enjoy. (The chances are your depression is caused by guilt feelings arising out of neglect of those tasks.)
We tend to have mixed feelings about the holy. There is a sense in which we are at the same time attracted to it and repulsed by it. Something draws us toward it, while at the same time we want to run away from it. We can’t seem to decide which way we want it. Part of us yearns for the holy, while part of us despises it. We can’t live with it, and we can’t live without it.
Even the slightest sin is an act of cosmic treason.

Faith never requires us to crucify our minds or deny our senses.
I get irritated when I hear preachers say, "Come to Jesus and all your problems will be over." That's just simply a lie.
By definition, the big difference between mercy and justice is that mercy is never ever obligatory.
If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.
The more seriously we understand the radical nature of sin, the more it exercises a restraint upon us.
