Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once and He volunteered.
When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.
I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible. Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures.
I don't always feel His presence. But God's promises do not depend upon my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
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.
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.
We are all servants. The only question is whom we will serve.
It is one thing to believe in God; it is quite another to believe God.
To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
The more I expose myself to the Word of God, the greater my faith will be.
There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.
The most violent expression of God's wrath and justice is seen in the Cross. If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus. He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.
God wants your life. Not one hour a week, not 10% of your income, He wants you.
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.
Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him... To love a holy God requires grace, grace strong enough to pierce our hardened hearts and awaken our moribund souls.
The Word of God can be in the mind without being in the heart; but it cannot be in the heart without first being in the mind.
God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.
If God is the Creator of the entire universe, then it must follow that He is the Lord of the whole universe. No part of the world is outside of His lordship. That means that no part of my life must be outside of His lordship.
As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.
