"America is not God's country, nor is God America's God." - Bryan P.

"It would do all of us some good to always keep in mind that we are all created in the image of God and that we are all going through the sanctification process. We might have the wrong attitude about people, but there is always hope and room for change." - John M.

"[A]millennialism is easy to understand, I love it and makes me feel all tingly inside." - David W.

"I love Biblical Theology. And I love it for one reason. It helps me know Jesus Christ better. If you want to know the Christ, if you want your people to know who He is, what He did, what He's doing, and what He will do, then become familiar with the discipline of Biblical Theology." - Nicholas P.

"For my salvation and His glory the Lord of the Universe, the Messiah and King of Israel gave his life willingly as the sacrificial lamb to pay the punishment due me for the forgiveness of my sins. I must only think of the atoning death of Jesus the Christ to quickly remember that the cares of this world, the pain, loss, and sorrow, are but passing moments." - Perry P.

"I think the most basic practical division among evangelical pastors today may be between those who pursue faithfulness and assume relevance and those who pursue relevance and assume faithfulness." - Mark D.

"A very strong theme which exists throughout the entire Bible is that God does things for the sake of His name, and for the sake of His praise among the peoples of the earth. God is the Creator and Beautiful One." - Matt M.

"Few examples better illustrate the depravity of man more than the inside of a bathroom stall." - Perry P.

"People are always concerned about our free will, but I don't see where we have a choice to accept or deny God. What about God's will? Is our will stronger?" - David F.

"True worship must be directed to God alone; but furthermore, it must likewise have its origin in God alone. In order for worship to be genuine, it must be simply a response to the Divine initiative in revealing his altogether worship-deserving nature to men." - Nathan P.

"A man that acts like a man in a Biblical fashion is so much more attractive than one who sits on the sidelines. Get in the game!" - Carla L.

"I have come to realize that such knowledge of God manifests itself in a person's life in many ways. A desire for ministry and spreading the gospel to others, a devotion for reading and studying the Bible and a wiliness to serve God in all aspects of ones life are all outward signs of having a relationship with God." - Perry P.

"[I]f we always understood the Bible upon first read and always agreed with everyone else on meaning, then there would be far less intellectual discussions concerning meanings, and I think we would grow far less intellectually and in faith. Theological disagreements, at least for me, cause me to study the Bible more intently and look for what is accurate." - Sarah C.

Does this sound like anything we have seen in history?" - Tim C.

"Real faith honors Christ because it looks away from any of our own supposed 'worthiness' and looks to the righteousness of Christ. We put our faith in the person and promises of Christ. If we have the wrong person, we do not have the faith. If we have the wrong promises, we do not have the faith." - Aaron S.

"To lie, in our culture, is to do what must be done. We are fake. We are plastic. We are neatly wrapped and placed in rows." - Simon F.

"The end and aim of all things must be characterized by being further conformed to the image of Christ, and to better know God." - Matt M.

As if were our greatest riches,
Never seeing for a moment
That our diamonds are but ditches?" - Gwen R.
