Only the Lord Jesus can redeem the soul that is steeped in guilt and shame. This baggage weighs us down until we accept Jesus' gift-the gift that liberates souls from sin's power.

There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.

Christ never preached any funeral sermons.

How can you measure the value of the good news of Christ? It is spoken of in the Bible as light in the darkness, freedom from slavery and life from death. Look at how much the Early Church valued the message. They received it with great joy and overflowing gratitude.

The Bible specifically states that sin cannot be blamed on how God made us. "When tempted, no one should say 'God is tempting me' " (Jas. 1:13). God wants us to come to terms with our sin and embrace the solution He has provided that can save us from judgment.

La promesa de la inmortalidad basta para poner en pie una religión.

We are not meant to die merely in order to be dead. God could not want that for the creatures to whom He has given the breath of life. We die in order to live.

No life that breathes with human breath Has ever truly longed for death.

There is a kind of life that leads to death. There is a kind of death that leads to life.

there is more mercy in Christ than sin in us, there can be no danger in thorough dealing. It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.

It is good to divert our sorrow for other things to the root of all, which is sin. Let our grief run most in that channel, that as sin bred grief, so grief may consume sin.

If we want hell, if we want heaven, they are ours. That's how love works. It can't be forced, manipulated, or coerced. It always leaves room for the other to decide. God says yes, we can have what we want, because love wins.
