The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not anti-intellectual. It demands the use of [the] mind, but the mind is affected by sin.

The essence of sin is self-will—placing ourselves at the center of our lives instead of Christ.

Can the sin of one or a few cause suffering for many? The answer, of course, is yes, for no sin is isolated in the life of the sinner. It spreads like poison gas into every available crevice.

Repent means to renounce sin . . .and by God’s grace to fill my mind with things that honor Him.

We have largely lost sight of the holiness and purity of God today. This is one reason why we tolerate sin so easily.

It is entirely possible to be deeply sorry because of the devastation which sin has wrought in our lives—and yet not repent.

You and I, God’s ambassadors, are called to sound the warning, to call sinners to repentance, to point the way to peace with God and the hope that is in Christ.

We can be convicted of sin—we can pray and confess our sin—we can repent—but the real test is our willingness to obey.

Understanding the consequence of sin and arrogance should motivate every Christian to pray for repentance and revival.
