"Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people."- Richard Foster
"Jesus was like us in every respect but one: he was without sin. Jesus had to be fully human to serve as our perfectly obedience representative. Just as Jesus had to be human to live in our place, he also had to be human to die in our place."- Wayne A. Grudem
"The world of personal ministry is rooted in three principles: First, we were created with the need for truth outside ourselves to live life properly. Secondly, many interpretive voices compete with God's Word for our hearts' attention. Third, the power of sin has been broken, but the blinding presence of sin remains. Therefore, we need to live in humble, honest community with one another, where personal ministry is part of the daily culture."- Paul David Tripp
"No gore, no grace, no glory. All religions that deny the cross nullify the grace of God and lead people to perpetual ruin. Preaching that (nullified) truth ill-fits today's professionalism (among evangelicals). Beware of replacing real truth-based tolerance with spurious professional tolerance."- John Piper
"Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?
A. Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever."- Westminster Catechism
