"Unpalatable though it sounds, we may see our attitudes and reactions reflected in Jonah's. We may go where we're told to go, we may say what we're told to say, we may externally conform to all that God has called us to do ... and yet, at the very core of our lives, we may not really be in harmony with how His plan is unfolding."

"Nothing you or I have or do is sufficient to pay our way through death and into eternal life....The danger of wealth is that is makes us proud and self-reliant, and we forget that God and God alone is the one who saves."

"Humility and consistency: these two are marks of the mature Christian life, which knows that by grace it has reached this far, and by grace it will press on to reach home."

“Faith in practice meant believing what God has said, taking Him at His word, and then regulating their lives accordingly…. Their faith was an assured conviction that what God had promised would indeed come to fruition.”

"My times are in your hand" is a six-word affirmation to remind Christians that despite disasters and difficulties, we are under the care of Almighty God.

"Because God is holy, He must count sin---but He counts it against someone else. He counts it against His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ."

"May God forgive us when we, like the crowd, are full of indignation at the interference to our plans and inconvenience to our preferences caused by those who are crying out for His mercy."

“[Jesus] acted on our behalf, offering forgiveness that is free to us, but costly to God. We dare not think that God simply decided to overlook our sin; rather, Christ’s death on the cross absorbed the judgment that you and I deserve. God‘s holiness requires sin’s penalty to be paid—and His Son provided the payment.”

"Christ's sympathy for the trials you and I face depends not upon the experience of sin but upon the experience of the temptation of sin, which only the one who is truly sinless can know to its fullest extent. Jesus does not demonstrate sympathy from a distance; He intimately knows the pain and challenge of enduring temptation. He walked our earthly paths."
