There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.

The trouble with us is that we've preached a 'cross' religion, and we need to preach a 'throne' religion. By that I mean that people have thought they were supposed to remain at the cross.

When you preach the cross, you're preaching death, and you leave people in death.
