The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled.
Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty...a cknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours.
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it; you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
There is a tremendous relief in knowing that {God's} love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion Him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench His determination to bless me.
We dishonor God if we proclaim a Savior who satisfies and then go around discontent
Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms... Confusion here is fatal.
The measure of all love is its giving. The measure of the love of God is the cross of Christ.
There are ministers who never speak of repentance or self-denial. Naturally they are popular, but they are false prophets.
A half-truth masquerading as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth.
If I were the devil, one of my first aims would be to stop folk from digging into the Bible.
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past; repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place.
The gospel tells that our Judge has become our Savior.
The Son of God came to seek us where we are in order that he might bring us to be with him where he is.
God answers the prayer we ought to have made rather than the prayer we did make.
Christ had no interest in gathering vast crowds of professed adherents who would melt away as soon as they found out what following Him actually demanded of them. In our own presentation of Christ's gospel, therefore, we need to lay a similar stress on the cost of following Christ and make sinners face it soberly before we urge them to respond to the message of free forgiveness. In common honesty, we must not conceal the fact that free forgiveness in one sense will cost everything.
The simple statement, 'God is for us', is in truth one of the richest and weightiest utterances that the Bible contains.
A wise man had said that your Christian life is like a three-legged stool. The legs are doctrine, experience and practice, which is obedience; and you, will not stay upright unless all three are there. In recent years many Christians have not kept these three together.
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
I need not torment myself with the fear that my faith may fail; as grace led me to faith in the first place, so grace will keep me believing to the end. Faith, both in its origin and continuance, is a gift of grace (Phil 1:29).
There are no small sins against a great God
It is not for us to imagine that we can prove the truth of Christianity by our own arguments; nobody can prove the truth of Christianity except the Holy Spirit, by his own almighty work of renewing the blinded heart. It is the sovereign prerogative of Christ's Spirit to convince men's consciences of the truth of Christ's gospel; and Christ's human witnesses must learn to ground their hopes of success not on clever presentation of the truth by man, but on powerful demonstration of the truth by the Spirit.
A God whom we could understand exhaustively, and whose revelation of Himself confronted us with no mysteries whatsoever, would be a God in man's image, and therefore an imaginary God, not the God of the Bible at all.
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
To know God's love is indeed heaven on earth.
