The moment we think we deserve mercy a little alarm bell should go off in our head because we are not talking about mercy anymore but justice.

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.

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.

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

There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.

Doctrine does matter.

The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.

The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
R. C. Sproul

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.

Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.
