Radical obedience to Christ is not easy… It’s not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk...

Quanto ai cristiani, sarebbe stato proprio lo scossone della sconfitta nel referendum sul divorzio a costituire il principio del loro risveglio; più tardi Iddio avrebbe fatto alla sua chiesa l’immenso dono del papa polacco: un...

The strength of the Christian system — the acid test of it — is that everything fits under the apex of the existent, infinite-personal God, and it is the only system in the world where...

A sophiological Christianity focuses on the path.

Without the Fatherhood of God driving our manhood, we become “mad scientists” as we destructively experiment with those in our charge. But because of Jesus there is hope…Through a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ,...

No gift unrecognized as coming from God is at its own best: therefore many things that God would gladly give us, things even that we need because we are, must wait until we ask for...

It is to the Cross that the Christian is challenged to follow his Master: no path of redemption can make a detour around it.

If sickness brought glory God, Jesus would have spread disease, not healed it.

Anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian,...

Christ’s death is the Christian’s life. Christ’s cross is the Christian’s title to heaven. Christ “lifted up” and put to shame on Calvary is the ladder by which Christians “enter into the holiest,” and are...
