When people ask me to name the Ligonier teaching material they should use to help them grow; I tell them, 'You should start with The Holiness of God.'
The power of the gospel is the word of God . . . nobody needs a gospel if there’s no judgment, or law, if God is not a God of judgment. If there is no such thing as hell, what good is the gospel?
In the decade of the 1980s, a massive and comprehensive study of religion in American life was undertaken by the Gallup organization. The results of the study were as terrifying as they were revealing. Americans, even evangelical Americans, are woefully ignorant of the content of Scripture and even more ignorant of the history of Christianity and classical Christian theology.
God Himself supplies the necessary condition to come to Jesus, that's why it is 'sola gratia,' by grace alone, that we are saved.
All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.
I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.
The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.
The only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.
It has been said by church historians that in those periods of Christian history where renewal, revival, and awakening took place and the church was at its strongest, that coincidental with those periods in church history, there was a strong focus on the psalms in the life of God's people-particularly in the worship of God's people.
We are all servants. The only question is whom we will serve.
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.
I get irritated when I hear preachers say, "Come to Jesus and all your problems will be over." That's just simply a lie.
We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.
To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.
