“What we learn, then, is that the glory of God does not promote a “worm theology” (God is glorious, and therefore men are of no consequence whatsoever). God is the God of glory, and He is so glorious that He imparts a reflective glory upon the human beings made in His own image and likeness.”

“Contrary to a current popular notion, not all sins are equal (cf., e.g., 1 Cor 5:1; John 19:11; 1 John 5:16, 17). Hitler’s sins really are more serious than those of your neighbor down the street, despite what glib American religious slogans may have led you to believe.”

“Just as freedom for a fish is freedom to live within the water and not on dry land, so freedom for the image-bearers of God is freedom to live within His orbit of glory and not within the vanity of some attempted (and impossible) independence. In the end, rebellion does not result in freedom from God (which is utterly impossible); it simply results in captivity to sin and death.”
