The whole page 199 about the apostle Paul, but especially this:All of his words could be reduced to one sentence. "We preach Christ crucified" (1Cor. 1:23 NIV). It wasn't that he lacked other sermon outlines; it was just than he could not't exhaust the first one.

Tragically, some people believe they are going to heaven when they die just because a few drops of water were sprinkled over their heads a few weeks after their birth. They have no personal faith, have never made a personal decision, and are banking on a hollow ceremony to save them. How absurd.

If the Bible is called the Good Book, it's not because its people are. Blood flows as freely through the stories as the ink through the quills that penned them.

The big news of the Bible is not that you fight for God but that God fights for you.
