If God says, 'I forgive you,' you are forgiven no matter how you feel, and to refuse that forgiveness is an act of arrogance.
The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.
Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.
The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.
If you don’t delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you don’t know God. You don’t love God. You’re out of touch with God. You’re asleep to his character.
There is nothing more foreign, more alien, to our nature than holiness.
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
Whenever I read the psalms, I feel like I am eavesdropping on a saint having a personal conversation with God.
For the soul of a person to be inflamed with passion for the living God, that person's mind must first be informed about the character and will of God. There can be nothing in the heart that is not first in the mind. Though it is possible to have theology on the head without its piercing the soul, it cannot pierce the soul without first being grasped by the mind.
To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.
Heaven is a place where God will personally wipe away our tears.
Without God man has no reference point to define himself. 20th century philosophy manifests the chaos of man seeking to understand himself as a creature with dignity while having no reference point for that dignity.
