Remember that you are not saved by increased levels of holiness, however desirable it is that you should reach them. ...It is Christ who saves us-through faith. Your faith is a poor and crumbling thing, as is your spiritual service. Jesus Christ alone is qualified and able to save you because of what He has done.

God can be trusted even when he cannot be seen or understood.

I've often reflected on the rather obvious thought that when his disciples were about to have the world collapse in on them, our Lord spent so much time in the Upper Room speaking to them about the mystery of the Trinity.

Image
The only thing of my very own which I contribute to my redemption is the sin from which I need to be redeemed.

Image
The real test that I believe that God is love is that tragedies don't separate me from the conviction that God is love.

Image
My security as a Christian does not reside in the strength of my faith but in the indestructibili ty of my Savior.

Image
The weakest faith gets the same strong Christ as does the strongest faith.

Christian contentment, therefore, is the direct fruit of having no higher ambition than to belong to the Lord and to be totally at His disposal in the place He appoints, at the time He chooses, with the provision He is pleased to make.

Probably no theologian in English language has ever rivaled Owen stressing the absolute centrality of Christ's penal substitution and therefore his as Priest. . . . For that reason alone The Priesthood of Christ is worth all the time it takes to read it with humility, care, and reflection.

The Son of God came to dwell in human flesh for us in order that He might come to dwell in us by His Spirit.

No short-cut that tries to bypass the patient unfolding of the true character of God, and our relationship to him as his children, can ever succeed in providing long-term spiritual therapy.
