Quote

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.

Image
When God writes our names in the 'Lamb's Book of Life' He doesn't do it with an eraser handy. He does it for eternity.

Image
God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.

God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us He made us.

Image
All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.

Anyone who takes his faith seriously and speaks in behalf of Christ and His kingdom will be accused of fanaticism at some point.

If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.
