To be a Christian is to be a theologian-a student of God and his will. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church.
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian has a theology. The issue, then, is not, dowe want to have a theology? That's a given. The real issue is, do we have a sound theology.? Do we embrace true or false doctrine?
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
In Christian marriage, love is not an option. It is a duty.
Right now counts forever.
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.
The great triad of enemies for Christian growth contain the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Apostasy occurs when a church leaves its historic moorings, abandons its historic confessional position, and degenerates into a state where either essential Christian truths are blatantly denied or the denial of such truths is widely tolerated.
It has been said by church historians that in those periods of Christian history where renewal, revival, and awakening took place and the church was at its strongest, that coincidental with those periods in church history, there was a strong focus on the psalms in the life of God's people-particularly in the worship of God's people.
Sometimes we emulate the Pharisees more than we imitate Christ.
For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.
