It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.

The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news.

The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.

It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.

Image
Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a 'wish' I wish that such-and-such would take place rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.

We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'

It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.

God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.

If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.

Image
The Word of God can be in the mind without being in the heart but it cannot be in the heart without first being in the mind.

Was Luther crazy? Perhaps. But if he was, our prayer is that God would send to this earth an epidemic of such insanity that we too may taste of the righteousness that is by faith alone.

The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.

What we celebrate at Christmas is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself

Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.

Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.

The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.

The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.

Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'

To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.

Doctrine divides, but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God's people who celebrate the truth of God together.
