When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.
Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once and He volunteered.
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.
I don't always feel His presence. But God's promises do not depend upon my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.
God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
We are all servants. The only question is whom we will serve.
It is one thing to believe in God; it is quite another to believe God.
To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
We live in age of compromise, but if we stand on the bedrock of God’s truth, we will not bend with the winds of relativism and faithlessness.
Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.
Repentance is something that is brought about in the human heart by the work of God the Holy Spirit.
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.
Here then is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.
The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.
It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.
Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?
Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'
