We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.
The question is not, "Why is there only one way to God?" but "Why is there even one way?"
Right now counts forever.
Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
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 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.
Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
The fundamental deception of Satan is the lie that obedience can never bring happiness.
The only cure for anxiety is to get down on our knees.
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
We fall privately before we ever fall publicly.
The more I expose myself to the Word of God, the greater my faith will be.
Perhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on God’s grace and God’s grace alone for our celebration. It is difficult for our pride to rest on grace. Grace is for other people—for beggars. We don’t want to live by a heavenly welfare system. We want to earn our own way and atone for our own sins. We like to think that we will go to heaven because we deserve to be there.
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.
We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.
Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.
There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.
God wants your life. Not one hour a week, not 10% of your income, He wants you.
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
When God writes our names in the 'Lamb's Book of Life' He doesn't do it with an eraser handy. He does it for eternity.
Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
