Singing to God is not a nice little emotional trip to spice up a worship service—it is a matter of life and death.

When God becomes a man, he strips away every pretense of man to be God.

If we are not walking in the light, we have no warrant for believing that our sins are covered.

We must walk in the light if we are to go on experiencing the cleansing of Jesus. And if we sin, we do indeed have an advocate with the Father.

You can know that you know Christ if you obey his commands.

Hate is the evidence of blindness to the light of God. Love is the evidence that sight has been given to the blind.

Unless there is hope of winning there is no motivation to fight. The apostle John motivates the fight with the confidence of victory.

Anything that is not God can draw your heart away from God.

The Spirit agrees with the apostolic doctrine or it is not the Spirit of God.

Hearing the gospel with openness and confessing Christ with loyalty is the work and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The evidence of being indwelt by the Spirit of God is the experience of loving Jesus the way the Father loves him.

Six questions to see if you have genuine faith in Christ and love for others.

A life poured out in love for others yields peace of mind and the hope of a glorious destiny.

Faith says to every temptation of the world: NO, BE GONE! I know where true satisfaction is to be found.

Nothing is more important than having eternal life.

Job's worship was remarkable because it came in the midst of great suffering.

Why did God prolong Job's suffering? Didn't his initial reaction prove his faith?

The suffering of the righteous is not a token of God's enmity but of his love. It is not a punishment of their sins but a refinement of their righteousness.

It is presumptuous to assume you can counsel God about how to run a more just world.

What God is after in all his dealings with his children is a brokenhearted joy that trusts like a little child in God and returns good for evil.

Our homes and apartments should stand constantly ready for strategic hospitality—a readiness to welcome people who don't ordinarily live there.

God's help is always well-timed.

Preserve your freedom in Christ! Can you say with Paul, "I will not be enslaved by anything!"?

Worshiping God is the number one duty of every human being.

Where the gospel flourishes people share their souls—their joys, guilts, fears, and passions.

God's invitation to the banquet of his eternal joy is sent through the church indiscriminately to all people.

When the massive weather front of God's love meets the massive weather front of God's power in the heart of a believer, it produces a hurricane of doxology.

Humbly accept the fact that your true advancement in life depends far more on God's labor than yours.

No promise in all the world surpasses the height and breadth and weight of Romans 8:28.

The glory of the preeminence Christ is the ultimate goal of predestination.

Our call, our conversion, our regeneration, and the gift of our faith are based on God's eternal election and predestination not on our self-determination.

The doctrines of sovereign grace are not overthrown by problems in Scripture. They stand firm and are the precious foundation of our deepest hopes.

God flattened the mountain of his wrath that blocked the railroad between my predestination and my glorification. He justified us by the death of his Son.

It is faith alone which justifies, but that the faith which justifies never stays alone. It is living and active and bears fruit in obedience.

Glorification is the work of God by which he makes his children both spiritually and physically glorious.

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to the Son of God and he declares, "I must bring in my other sheep." He will do it.

Thankfulness guards our souls because it nurtures humility and kills triviality.

We need a Savior because we are spiritually dead and helpless without him, no matter how good we look on the outside.

We were dead to God, enslaved to Satan, and were rightfully under the wrath of God. There was only one hope, and it was not in ourselves.

We were dead in sin, BUT GOD made us alive with Christ.

It is the duty of Christians to seek God's power to fulfill good resolves.
