A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
R. C. Sproul

The great misconception in our day is this: that God isn´t concerned to protect His own integrity. He´s a kind of wishy-washy deity, who just waves a wand of forgiveness over everybody. No. For God to forgive you is a very costly matter.

It is one thing to believe in God it is quite another to believe God.

The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.

A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
