God will accomplish his purpose for the church, even if he choses to use a remnant to do it.

Take the supernatural seriously and realize that we are in warfare.

The Bible teaches that God's aim is not for us to be rich in material goods, but rather for us to be rich in good works.

How can Christians serve as the conscience of our culture?

Serving and loving and helping and encouraging and supporting the saints is the way we show our love for the name of God.

If second things become first things, we may have a rigorous religion, but we will not have evangelical, God-centered, biblical Christianity.

Children prove whether you are truly great or not—whether you live to serve or live to be praised.

The glorious, unshakable, objective foundation of your being a Christian is that God chose you to be one.

The ultimate goal of God in election and predestination is that God might be praised for his glory.

God put sent Christ to die in order to demonstrate his righteousness.

Being justified means being forgiven, being reckoned righteous, being loved by God, and being secured by God forever.

The call of God is effective; it creates what it commands.

Assurance does not come from making holiness optional. It comes from knowing God is faithful.

What if it's true that Christ rose from the dead?

God wants us to have assurance that no matter how much evil and suffering and futility we see now, he will make all things new.

God has made the cities of this world, and he cares for them. So should we.

The horror of hell is an echo of the infinite worth of God's glory.

Fear of hell is no proof of love for God.

The way you run your race and fight your fight will make the difference between sharing in the promises of the gospel or being disqualified.

Eternal life hangs on the way we run and the way we fight.

God has a purpose for every obstacle and every frustration and every pain and every affliction that comes into our lives.

We come to know Christ better when we share his sufferings.

The suffering love of Christ for sinners is seen in the suffering love of his people for sinners.

Afflictions do not merely precede glory; they help produce the glory.

No matter what the issue is, it exists for Christ, or for nothing. Because CHRIST IS ALL.

God means to fill the universe with the glory of his Son by putting the church on display as the embodiment of his Son.

Jesus is the point in redemptive history where the true Israel becomes the church of Christ and the church emerges as the true Israel.

The Lord's Supper exists to deepen and strengthen our participation in the benefits of the cross and to nourish our fellowship with Christ.

Christ did not simply die for an unworthy woman or for a reluctant woman, but for a woman who found him repulsive.

The aim of your ministry as a Christian is to build up the body as a whole.

Love abounding in knowledge and discernment is what builds Christ's body.

The truth that there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, is a truth for inside the church and outside the church.

Why doesn't God give everyone the same faith and gifts?

Christianity has to do with everything your body has to do with—food and sex and sleep and talking and playing and working.

Gifts are for the glory of God and the good of the church.

If we say we are useless, we not only say no to the idea of the body, but worse, we say no to God. We don't trust him.

Even if we don't have the same heart for a particular issue facing us, let us have the same heart for each other.

The Bible's picture of our Savior too radical that it should be the mere creation of sinful men.

We need to be like lights shining in a dark place. Which means we need to behold Jesus. We need to gaze at Christ.
