Free in Christ

"Christ came to set the captive free—no matter what kind of yoke binds them. He came to bind up the brokenhearted—no matter what broke the heart. He came to open the eyes of the blind—no matter what veiled their vision."

Be Guarded, Guided and Governed

"If the Scripture teaches that truly knowing God - knowing Christ - guards and guides and governs our sexuality in purity and love, then we may be sure that a pastor, or anyone else, whose sexuality is not governed and guarded and guided in purity and love does not know God - at least not as he ought."

What Reward Are You Inheriting?

"The reward of the American dream is safety, security, and success found in more comfort, better stuff, and greater prosperity. But the reward of Christ trumps all these things and beckons us to live for an eternal safety, security, and satisfaction that far outweigh everything this world has to offer."

The Passion of Christ - Perfect In Power

"The passion of Christ is not only infinite and almighty, but it is perfect. The atonement in Jesus Christ's blood is perfect; there isn't anything that can be added to it. It is spotless, impeccable, flawless. It is perfect as God is perfect. The holy suffering there on the cross and the resurrection from the dead cancels our sins and abrogates our sentence."

Courage, I am thy salvation.

"Sure I am, it is better to be sick, providing Christ come to the bedside and draw the curtains, and say, 'Courage, I am thy salvation,' than to enjoy health, being lusty and strong and never need to be visited of God."

The Passion of Christ - Infinite In Power

"His suffering in His own blood for us was infinite. Infinite means without bound and without limit, shoreless, bottomless, topless forever and ever, without any possible measure or limitation. And so the suffering of Jesus and the atonement He made on that cross under that darkening sky was infinite in its power."

Paradox of the Cross

"The paradox of the cross is the consummation of perfect peace and perfect justice became united in one death on a Friday afternoon some two thousand years ago. The death of Christ is timeless and timelessness. The moment Christ died was an actual point in time in the past. He presently offers to live within us and promised to return."

- Ravi Zacharias

Our Pleasure and Treasure
