“The beliefs and behavior of the religion of modernity in America indicate a naïve attempt to live in the world as if, from the Christian perspective, there had never been a Fall from what God intended man and woman to be in the first place. But in a fallen world, sin and evil—including aggressive evil—are real, and so are poverty and suffering and tragedy … Failure to acknowledge the reality of sin indicates that self-awareness has not resulted in awareness of one's own true self, one's predilection toward sin and one's reaping of its consequences. Superficiality, then, exists in the modern believer's relationship with God, with others, and with one's own true self. Jesus may not have called anyone a sinner; but he did believe in hell, he did address the Pharisees as those whose father was the devil, and he did know suffering and its divine significance first-hand—in the extreme. In biblical religion, the cross is not a plus sign.”

“Remember, every mile of road has two miles of ditches, and we must be careful not to fall into either ditch. We want to be broad-minded enough to allow for differences of opinion, but not so open-minded as to tolerate doctrinal error or to make excuses for sin in the church. Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and we must be careful not to let the lines blur.”

“Jesus Christ has broken the power of sin, and God's invitation to us is to embrace a new mindset and a new way of living. In Jesus' name we are to think of ourselves as dead to the power of sin. In Jesus' name we don't have to let the voice of the Enemy control the way we live. In Jesus' name we don't have to give in to sinful desires; we can win the battle for our minds.”

“The spiral begins this way: a temptation or thought that's not from God comes into your mind. Stop right there. Identify that reality. If a harmful thought enters your mind, it's not from God. We must be awakened to this. Those thoughts are from the Enemy, who often uses our own desires against us.”
