It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
Repentance is something that is brought about in the human heart by the work of God the Holy Spirit.
It is superstitious to equate our feelings and inclinations with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit always communicates that He's for you when He convicts you of your sin.
Confession should be a daily activity for the Christian, whose entire pilgrimage is characterized by the spirit of repentance.
It is important for us to make a distinction between the spiritual fruit of joy and the cultural concept of happiness. A Christian can have joy in his heart while there is still spiritual depression in his head. The joy that we have sustains us through these dark nights and is not quenched by spiritual depression. The joy of the Christian is one that survives all downturns in life.
We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.
Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?
We want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin. We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father. The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized. Sin always accompanies misery. There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanity’s rebellion from God.
By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.
'Economics for Everybody' begins with understanding God's principles for organizing His creation and what that means for us as creatures and stewards.
The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
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.
Reformed theology so far transcends the mere five points of Calvinism that it is an entire worldview.
