If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.

Christian faith is not an irrational leap.Examined objectively, the claims of the Bible are rational propositions well supported by reason and evidence.

The door of the visible church is incomparably wider than the door of heaven (522)[.]

God as a Trinity of persons, available at cacradicalgrace.org.

it is very surprising to me that so many Christians who read the Scriptures do not see this. Yet maybe they cannot answer a second call because they have not yet completed the first task. Unless you build your first house well, you will never leave it. To build your house well is, ironically, to be nudged beyond its doors.

The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God.

The Christian faith grew through story - not text. Only later did the stories become Scripture. While the Scripture must be held in the highest regard, we must not neglect the power of story.

Being religious without knowing the cross is like owning a Mercedes with no motor. Pretty package, but where is your power?

Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

Prayer is the greatest force that we can wield. It is the greatest talent which God has granted us. He has given it to every Christian.

Avail yourself of the greatest privilege this side of heaven. Jesus Christ died to make this communion and communication with the Father possible.

I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations; and to no one of them, more than to yourself.
