“A true theology must be a preachable theology, and it must speak to the hearts and minds of believers, even if they do not have an earned doctorate in the field. Academics must not be divorced from spirituality or practical matters that affect us as ordinary church members. If we cannot speak to them, we cannot speak to anybody, and our theological pretensions are worthless.”
Gerald Bray

“The Bible is not a self-help manual for our improvement to the point where we are worthy of heaven, but the proclamation of God’s rescue plan, which he devised, carried out, and has now implemented in the mission of the church. The Christian life is therefore an appropriation of that grace, not a striving to achieve something beyond our grasp. It is a message of forgiveness for our sins, not of condemnation for having failed to make the grade.”
Gerald L. Bray, Augustine on the Christian Life: Transformed by the Power of God

“Deists are not committed to accepting the biblical portrait of God, and they have a marked tendency to modify the biblical view in ways that make him more congenial to them. A particular favorite of theirs is to deny that there is any wrath in God, despite the fact that the Bible often speaks about it.”
Gerald L. Bray, God Is Love: A Biblical and Systematic Theology
