Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.
Those trapped in sin will not normally thank you for pointing out the darkness in their lives.
We walk into the future in God-glorifying confidence, not because the future is known to us but because it is known to God. And that's all we need to know. Worry about the future is not simply a character tic, it is the sin of unbelief, an indication that our hearts are not resting in the promises of God.
No one in the history of the world has been more inclusive of repentant sinners than Jesus and no one has been more intolerant of sin.
You cannot be in Christ and be indifferent to the sin in your life.
You'll never be a mature Christian until you understand that God remembers his promises and forgets your sins.
There is no sin so prevalent, so insidious, and so deep as the sin of fearing people more than we fear God.
Legalism is a problem in the church, but so is anti-nomianism. Granted, I don't hear anyone saying, 'Let's continue in sin that grace may abound'. That's the worse form of antinomianism. But strictly speaking, antinomianism simply means no-law, and some Christians have very little place for the law in their pursuit of holiness.
Christians often equate holiness with activism and spiritual disciplines. And while it's true that activism is often the outgrowth of holiness and spiritual disciplines are necessary for the cultivation of holiness, the pattern of piety in the Scripture is more explicitly about our character. We put off sin and put on righteousness. We put to death the deeds of the flesh and put on Christ. To use the older language, we pursue mortification of the old man and the vivification of the new.
