I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history let's make (some) by the grace of God

Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone!

Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.

The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.
