To be free from the possibility of discouragements would be more ‘spiritual’ than Jesus-and therefore not truly spiritual at all.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Worship is not something we work up, it is something that comes down to us, from the character of God.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Without the spirit of the Lord Jesus, we will look upon 'the least of these' simply as the least.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
My security as a Christian does not reside in the strength of my faith but in the indestructibili ty of my Savior.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Even those of us who have weak faith have the same strong Christ as others!
Sinclair B. Ferguson
God has chosen us. Our status is not a matter of our worthiness, but of His love.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
You must know, rest in, think through, and act upon your new identity - you are in Christ
