“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.

“As the psalmist prayed so many centuries ago, “If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?” (Ps. 130:3). The answer is obvious: no one.

Desde el momento de nuestra conversión, nuestra vida toma una dirección distinta, de regreso a Dios.”

The natural pattern for humanity is to run from Him, to hide from Him. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). He is the Seeker; we are the ones who are running. In humanity’s sinful state, we may look for answers to life’s puzzles, but we do not seek God.”

“A menudo escuchamos que a la gente no le gusta juntarse con los cristianos porque estos muestran una arrogante actitud de autojustificación, o una actitud mojigata de superioridad moral.

Como dijo un predicador: “El evangelismo no es más que un mendigo diciéndole a otro mendigo donde hallar pan”.”
