Image
Every day we need our gaze redirected from ourselves to God.

The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional...it is theological.

We best defend the Lord's glory by speaking first TO Him about unbelieving men rather than speaking first ABOUT Him to unbelieving men.

Image
I've often reflected on the rather obvious thought that when his disciples were about to have the world collapse in on them, our Lord spent so much time in the Upper Room speaking to them about the mystery of the Trinity. If anything could underline the necessity of Trinitarianism for practical Christianity, that must surely be it!

When I look at the cross, I learn to say: 'The Son of God loved me, and gave Himself for me' (Galatians 2:20). I begin to believe with Paul that if God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up to the cross for me, then He loves me so much He will always give me only what will bring me blessing (Romans 8:32).

Remember that you are not saved by increased levels of holiness, however desirable it is that you should reach them. ...It is Christ who saves us-through faith. Your faith is a poor and crumbling thing, as is your spiritual service. Jesus Christ alone is qualified and able to save you because of what He has done.

When you look at the Cross, what do you see? You see God’s awesome faithfulness. Nothing – not even the instinct to spare His own Son – will turn him back from keeping His word.

The jewels of spiritual service are always quarried in the depths of spiritual experience. Never is this more true than in revival. Bend the church and save the people.

Repentance is a characteristic of the whole life, not the action of a single moment.

God can be trusted even when he cannot be seen or understood.

Until we acknowledge our sin and guilt, we will never come to discover that it can be forgiven.

The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional (I feel full of worship or The atmosphere is so worshipful). Actually, it is theological. Worship is not something we work up, it is something that comes down to us, from the character of God.

Where God is at the center of things, worship inevitably follows.
