No man with any moral fiber wants to share his wife with another man, and neither does God. He expects exclusive devotion from her. When she goes after other lovers, that is, when she worships other gods and thus commits spiritual adultery, He is said to be jealous.

Er stand für eine konservative, am Dallas Theological Seminary geprägte Schriftauslegung und wurde vor allem durch praktische Schriften zu Ehe, Familie und Nachfolge bekannt. Bibellesern bietet er bis heute alltagsbezogene Auslegungen sowie Reflexionen über das Gottvertrauen in persönlichen Krisen und schwerer Krankheit.
