If you want to see what judgment looks like, go to the cross. If you want to see what love looks like, go to the cross.

Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.

The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.

All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.

What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.

Ordinary Bibles often include cross-references and brief concordances Study Bibles include much more, all bound up in one fat volume, so that readers can find a lot of useful explanation on each page without having to hunt through Bible dictionaries and commentaries and the like.

The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned. Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth. In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).

We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.

...sometimes God chooses to bless us and make us people of integrity in the midst of abominable circumstances, rather than change our circumstances.

The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.

One cannot fail to observe a crushing irony: the gospel of relativistic tolerance is perhaps the most “evangelistic” movement in Western culture at the moment, demanding assent and brooking no rivals.
D. A. Carson
Image
We overcome the accuser of our brothers and sisters, we overcome our consciences, we overcome our bad tempers, we overcome our defeats, we overcome our lusts, we overcome our fears, we overcome our pettiness on the basis of the blood of the Lamb.

The broader problem is that a great deal of popular preaching and teaching uses the bible as a pegboard on which to hang a fair bit of Christianized pop psychology or moralizing encouragement, with very little effort to teach the faithful, from the Bible, the massive doctrines of historic confessional Christianity.

You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.

Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.

The New Testament writers did not invent a doctrine of Scripture they inherited it.

How much would our churches be transformed if each of us made it a practice to thank God for others and then to tell those others what it is about them that we thank God for?

Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.

There is no long-range effective teaching of the Bible that is not accompanied by long hours of ongoing study of the Bible.
