There is neither speck, nor spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing remaining upon any one believer in the matter of justification in the sight of the Judge of all the earth. Let present privilege awaken us to present duty, and now, while life lasts, let us spend and be spent for our sweet Lord Jesus.

The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be;
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

Whatever thou art, and wherever thou art, remember God is just what thou wantest, and just where though wantest, and he can do all thou wantest.

‘Authentic Christians’ are not those who are merely very sincere and who call themselves Christians. If ‘authenticity’ is to retain any utility in this discussion, the ‘authentic Christian’ is the one who is most shaped in thought, word, and deed by Christianity’s foundational documents, by Christianity’s Lord, by Christianity’s creeds. That is one of the reasons why reading and rereading the Bible, and knowing and reciting the creeds, are part and parcel of what gives us the categories and labels by which we think.

I am obliged to believe in an abyss of love which is deeper than the abyss of death: I dare not lose faith in that love. I sink into death, eternal death if I do. I must feel that this love is compassing the universe. More about it I cannot know.

‘All Power is given unto Me… Lo I am with you always.’ You have a factor here that is absolutely infinite, and what does it matter as to what other factors may be. ‘I will do as much as I can,’ says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he can not do, attempts the impossible and performs it.

…now morality and truth are often the property of the media. Television may not tell you what to think, but it certainly tells you what to think about.

Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen
