God doesn't want us to just feel gratitude, but for us to show it by giving thanks to God with our lives.
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
If you are of the truth, if you have learned the truth, if you see the sanctity of the truth, then speak truth. We are not called to be deceivers or liars. God is a God of truth, and His people are called to have an enormously high standard of truth.
Touching His human nature, Jesus is no longer present with us. Touching his Divine nature, He is never absent from us.
Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves from God.
If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
The irony of New Testament lordship is that only in slavery to Christ can a man discover authentic freedom.
Fallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.
If there is one maverick molecule in all the universe, then God is not sovereign. And if God is not sovereign, He is not God.
To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'
Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
There are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can't think of any more serious delusion than that.
God’s grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious. We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out.
Grace, by definition, is something that God is not required to grant. He owes a fallen world no mercy.
In every age the church is threatened by heresy, and heresy is bound up in false doctrine. It is the desire of all heretics to minimize the importance of doctrine. When doctrine is minimized, heresy can exercise itself without restraint.
Perhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on God’s grace and God’s grace alone for our celebration. It is difficult for our pride to rest on grace. Grace is for other people—for beggars. We don’t want to live by a heavenly welfare system. We want to earn our own way and atone for our own sins. We like to think that we will go to heaven because we deserve to be there.
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
We have to find in Christ, not a mask that conceals our face, but an entire wardrobe of clothing, which is His righteousness.
Heaven is a place where God will personally wipe away our tears.
If there is one single molecule in this universe running around loose, totally free of God’s sovereignty, then we have no guarantee that a single promise of God will ever be fulfilled.
In a universe governed by God there are no chance events. Indeed, there is no such thing as chance. Chance does not exist. It is merely a word we use to describe mathematical possibilities. But chance itself has no power because it has no being. Chance is not an entity that can influence reality. Chance is not a thing. It is nothing.
To be a Christian is to be a theologian-a student of God and his will. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church.
In the psalms, we have a collection of 150 prayers that were inspired originally by the Holy Ghost. If you want to know how God is pleased and honored in prayer, why not immerse yourself in the prayers that he himself has inspired?
The sweetest fragrance, the most beautiful aroma that God has ever detected emanating from this planet, was the aroma of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus that was offered once and for all on the cross.
