In the decade of the 1980s, a massive and comprehensive study of religion in American life was undertaken by the Gallup organization. The results of the study were as terrifying as they were revealing. Americans, even evangelical Americans, are woefully ignorant of the content of Scripture and even more ignorant of the history of Christianity and classical Christian theology.
The God of popular religion is not holy.
Modern man has lost any sense of God's nearness, but Christianity teaches that God reveals himself through every single thing he has ever brought into being, whether a created object or historical event.
We have a generation of people who think they can stand before the judgment seat of God despite their sins.
I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.
A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.
It's a sin to bore people.
In the culture of pluralism...the only thing that cannot be tolerated is a claim to exclusivity.
Before I can call upon Christ as my Savior, I have to understand that I need a savior. I have to understand that I am a sinner. I have to have some understanding of what sin is.I have to understand that God exists. I have to understand that I am estranged from that God, and that I am exposed to that God's judgment. I don't reach out for a savior unless I am first convinced that I need a savior. All of that is pre-evangelism. It is involved in the data or the information that a person has to process with his mind before he can either respond to it in faith or reject it in unbelief.
Confession should be a daily activity for the Christian, whose entire pilgrimage is characterized by the spirit of repentance.
Cynicism and skepticism are the crudest form of quasi-intellectualism... Let the cynic become cynical of his cynicism and the skeptic skeptical of his skepticism and join the battle.
The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
The Christian should be able to say with the psalmist, 'Oh, how I love your law.'
