Advice to aspiring ministers: Get in the Word. Stay in the Word. Master the Word. And for heaven's sake, preach the Word!
We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.
When God says something, the argument is over.
Repentance is something that is brought about in the human heart by the work of God the Holy Spirit.
Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
Man’s will is free to follow his inclinations, but fallen man’s inclinations are always and invariably away from God.
No unborn baby has ever had the right to choose or deny its own destruction.
Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.
In Christian marriage, love is not an option. It is a duty.
Christ exposed Himself not only to the unbridled hostility of angry men, but, more significantly, to the unmitigated wrath of God.
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.
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.
