It has been said by church historians that in those periods of Christian history where renewal, revival, and awakening took place and the church was at its strongest, that coincidental with those periods in church history, there was a strong focus on the psalms in the life of God's people-particularly in the worship of God's people.

The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.

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.

Satan can do only what the sovereign God allows him to do.

Image
It's dangerous to assume that because a man is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. I am sure that the reason that I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy.

I can’t make the Bible come alive for anyone. The Bible is already alive. It makes me come alive.

The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.

The question is not, Why is there only one way to God? but Why is there even one way?

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

No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.

We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.

If it were left to us, we would all fall away from the faith and perish.
