It is just as crazy not to be crazy about Christ as it is to be crazy about anything else.
It has served us well, this myth of Christ.
The god who exacts the last drop of blood from his Son so that his just anger, evoked by sin, may be appeased, is not the God revealed by and in Jesus Christ. And if he is not the God of Jesus, he does not exist.
The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
The Bible was written not to satisfy your curiosity but to help you conform to Christ's image.
My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.
One of my defining beliefs is that Jesus Christ has taken all of my guilt before God, and that he has been raised from the dead. That gives incredible hope and meaning to every day of my life - that nothing done in this world is wasted when it's done for him and his glory, and that there will be a day of justice and reward for the entire world.
Christ called as his Apostles only men. He did this in a totally free and sovereign way.
The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ.
If you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as immutable historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell.
I [will] not go to heaven because I am a preacher. I am going to heaven entirely on the merit of the work of Christ.
Christ said, The Truth shall make you free, but Truth is not found once and forever. Truth is eternal, and the quest for Truth must also be eternal.
Christ is not only a person, Christ is a place. When you come into Christ, you don't come into a person; you come into a place.
The person that I most admire is Jesus Christ. He is the only perfect Person. There is simply no comparison. The difference between Him and all other men is not merely quantitative, but qualitative. He is in a category all to Himself.
My identity is in Christ, not in basketball.
Let my soul calm itself, O Christ, in Thee. This is true
Someday each one of us will have to account to our Savior, Jesus Christ, for what we have done with His name.
I find it most intriguing to contemplate the fact that while men are considering what place to give Jesus Christ in history, He has already decided what place to give them in eternity.
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
We should consider the histories of Christ three manner of ways; first, as a history of acts or legends; second, as a gift or a present; thirdly, as an example, which we should believe and follow.
