“For most of church history good Christians have disagreed on the millennium, and millennial views should not become barriers of fellowship. On the other hand, the millennium is not some incidental doctrine that doesn’t really matter. It is a major part of the Bible’s storyline and involves the nature and timing of Jesus’ kingdom.”
― Michael Vlach, Premillennialism: Why There Must Be a Future Earthly Kingdom of Jesus

“Gospel only sounds good to a heart that knows it is bad. For people who think they’re good, grace is frustrating. For people who know they’re not, grace is freeing.”
― Tullian Tchividjian, One Way Love: Inexhaustible Grace for an Exhausted World

“In the Gospels the emphasis is on the death of Christ. In the Epistles the emphasis is upon the resurrection of Christ. In the Book of Revelation the emphasis is upon the ascension of Christ. Protestantism, and even fundamentalism, has ignored the ascension of Christ, and this is one reason we have not had a great enough emphasis upon the present ministry of Christ.”
― J. Vernon McGee, Revelation II: The Prophecy, Revelation 6-13
