The nature of salvation is peace, or reconciliation – peace with God, peace with others, peace within.

Souls are won for Christ by tears and sweat and pain, especially in prayer and in sacrificial personal friendship.

Only if we share Christ's death on earth will we share his life in heaven.

In God’s providence we have four gospels! For Jesus Christ is too great and glorious a person to be captured by one author or one perspective.

The essence of discipleship is union with Christ, which means identification with him in both his sufferings and his glory.

What we have to share with others is neither a miscellany of human speculations, nor one more religion to add to the rest, nor really a religion at all. It is rather ‘the gospel of God,’ God’s own good news for a lost world.

Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, and indifferent to the needs of mortals, until, it may be, they can badger him into taking action on their behalf. Such a view is wholly false. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to man to turn to him, while man is still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds him.
