The clearest and fullest expression of God's attributes is found in Jesus Christ, who is the image of the invisible God.

Where God’s Word is, there is God Himself, there God’s Spirit is at work, there God establishes His covenant, there He plants His church.

The Christian story told in the Bible needs to be taught alongside and even against the secular narratives of the day.

My scholarship avails me nothing, nor my dogmatics: it is only my faith can save me.

Union with Christ is the fountainhead of every grace. Apart from Him we can do nothing; in Him, we possess everything.

Justification is the doctrine on which the church stands or falls. Either we must do something to be saved, or our salvation is purely a gift of grace.

Theology is about God and should reflect a doxological tone that glorifies him.

The assurance of salvation is an important aspect of faith; it is the conviction that we are loved by God and that we belong to Him, based not on our feelings but on His promises.

The Gospel is sheer good tidings, not demand but promise, not duty but gift. But in order that as promise and gift it may be realized in us, it takes on the character of moral admonishment in accordance with our nature.

Christ is the head of every believer, of every local congregation, and also of the church as a whole.

Sanctification proceeds from God alone. It is he who sanctifies Israel, the priesthood, the temple, the altar, certain special places, persons, and objects, who brings them into his service and communion, and sets them apart from that which is unholy.

The road was the same on which believers in the Old and the New Testaments walked, but the light in which they walked was different.

If the husband is the head, then the wife is the heart of the family. The husband brings in the fruits of his labor, and the wife distributes them according to each one's need.

The words of Christ do not contain a political or social agenda; they cannot be imposed by means of the authority or force of a government and cannot be exacted with violence or under threat of punishment.

Christianity is no less than the real, supreme work of the Triune God, in which the Father reconciles his created but fallen world through the death of his Son and re-creates it through his Spirit into the kingdom of God.

Grace is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the entire work of salvation; it is totally devoid of human merit.
