Sermonettes, Volume 2 Quotes

“Love is popularly regarded as an emotion. The main problem with this is that the Bible does not define it this way. In fact, if this anti-Christian definition is used as the operating principle, it would annihilate the reality and stability inherent in the biblical idea.”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 2

“Jesus Christ is our best friend not because he never hurts our feelings or because he never rebukes us, but because he always speaks the truth, the truth that leads to genuine worship and everlasting life.”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 2

“And let us also rebuke those who claim to be Christians, but who oppose the love that the Word of God commands. They hinder the progress of the gospel, and of truth and holiness.”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 2

“in the Bible, love refers to a disposition that results in the corresponding words and actions. Thus because a person loves, he will speak the truth to instruct and to rebuke others. The words and tones will often be soft and gentle, but will sometimes be harsh and scathing, as the prophets and apostles both exemplified and commanded.”
