God is God; you are but one of His creatures. Your only joy is to be found in obeying Him, your true fulfillment is to be found in worshiping Him, your only wisdom is to be found in trusting and knowing Him.
My security as a Christian does not reside in the strength of my faith but in the indestructibili ty of my Savior.
How do we bring glory to God? The Bible’s short answer is: by growing more and more like Jesus Christ.
Love is not maximum emotion. Love is maximum commitment.
Appearances can be deceptive. The fact that we cannot see what God is doing does not mean that He is doing nothing. The Lord has His own timetable. It is we who must learn to adjust to it, not vice versa. When God's time comes nothing will stand in His way. We can therefore wait for Him with this happy confidence: "As for God, His way is perfect" (2 Samuel 22:31).
When I know that Christ is the one real sacrifice for my sins, that His work on my behalf has been accepted by God, that He is my heavenly Intercessor - then His blood is the antidote to the poison in the voices that echo in my conscience, condemning me for my many failures. Indeed, Christ's shed blood chokes them into silence!
Thinking that I deserve heaven is a sure sign I have no understanding of the gospel.
It is only when we want to take our lives out of the Father’s hands and have them under our own control that we find ourselves gripped with anxiety. The secret of freedom from anxiety is freedom from ourselves and abandonment of our own plans. But that spirit emerges in our lives only when our minds are filled with the knowledge that our Father can be trusted implicitly to supply everything we need.
Every day we need our gaze redirected from ourselves to God.
Spiritual growth depends on two things: first a willingness to live according to the Word of God; second, a willingness to take whatever consequences emerge as a result.
Humility is not simply feeling small and useless - like an inferiority complex. It is sensing how great and glorious God is, and seeing myself in that light.
The true church is too different for the world to tolerate it.
The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.
There is a difference between going to a service "for the worship" and going to a service "to worship the Lord." The distinction appears to be a minor one, but it may imply the difference between the worship of God and the worship of music!
Knowing God is your single greatest privilege as a Christian
Be obedient even when you do not know where obedience may lead you
Until we acknowledge our sin and guilt, we will never come to discover that it can be forgiven.
Repentance is a characteristic of the whole life, not the action of a single moment.
The Father did not require the death of Christ to persuade Him to love us. Christ died because the Father loves us.
The foundation of our love for the Lord lies in the recognition of His holiness, our sinfulness, and His grace.
God has chosen us. Our status is not a matter of our worthiness, but of His love.
The weakest faith gets the same strong Christ as does the strongest faith.
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.
Our first priority in ministry must be love. Love for His Word, love for His people, and love for His appearing.
Jesus undid everything that Adam did, and did everything Adam failed to do.
