‘To be truly Trinitarian we must be constantly Christ-centered.”

“Soli Deo gloria [is] the glue that holds the other solas in place, the center that draws the others into a grand, unified whole.”
10 Marks of a Grace Alone Church by Dr. Carl Trueman:
“If we speak of grace without speaking the name of Christ, we aren’t speaking biblically of grace. . . . Christless talk is graceless talk.”

“This is how Jesus forgives sin: He condemns it, carries it, cancels it, kills it, casts it, and clean forgets it. If we’ll confess it.”
