“[W]e are saved by two things -- the death of Christ and the life of Christ. The death of Christ covers our sin, but the life of Christ provides the merit and the righteousness that we must have in order to enter into heaven. So Jesus' life is as important for us as His death. He lived to fulfill all of the law of God.”
“People, particularly in America, are conditioned to think of Christianity only in terms of the new Testament. I'm sure this is why we have a crisis of morality in the church and the pervasive presence3 of an antinomian theology and behavioral system. Simply put, we have woefully neglected the old Testament, just as if there is nothing but discontinuity between the two testaments.”

“Shepherds were not even allowed to give testimony in court because they were considered utterly untrustworthy, the dregs of society. In other words, the shepherd was seen as just a bit above a slave. He was a lowly servant.

“We should be concerned with our environment because God placed man in His garden and made Him responsible to dress, fill, keep, and replenish it.

Today, naturalism has replaced God with Mother Earth, and we do more to protect fish eggs than human fetuses. Our priorities are out of order.”
“Being righteous is not all that complicated; it means doing what is right. We have to have a passion to do what is right.”
