We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.
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.
Repentance is something that is brought about in the human heart by the work of God the Holy Spirit.
God does not rule by the consent of His subjects but by His sovereign authority. His reign extends over me whether I vote for Him or not.
Right now counts forever.
Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.
God not only initiated my salvation, He not only sowed the seed, but He made sure that that seed germinated in my heart by regenerating me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.
To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory 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.
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
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.
There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
