Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
R. C. Sproul
Image
No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

Image
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
R. C. Sproul
Image
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.

We are able to persevere only because God works within us, within our free wills. And because God is at work in us, we are certain to persevere. The decrees of God concerning election are immutable. They do not change, because He does not change. All whom He justifies He glorifies. None of the elect has ever been lost.

It is important that when we are engaged in admonition or exhortation or confrontation with a brother who is overcome in sin, we call attention to the truth in an extraordinarily compassionate and tender and loving spirit.

Image
To focus our mind on the task at hand-with fierce concentration-m akes for a productive use of time.

Image
The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.

Image
Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.

It is one thing to fall victim to the flood or to fall prey to cancer it is another thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Image
Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.

The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.

Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?

God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious.
