Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.
Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
The only cure for anxiety is to get down on our knees.
Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.
We break our promises to one another. We break our promises to God. But God never breaks His promises to us.
God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.
The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist; apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
Christ told his disciples not to be anxious about tomorrow, but he never said not to consider tomorrow. Intelligent problem solving demands careful consideration of the future effects of present solutions.
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
The glory of the gospel is this: The one from whom we need to be saved is the one who has saved us.
Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
God is serious about how we worship Him, and we must be serious about it, too.
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker; we are the ones who are running.
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.
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, "My bride never talks to me".
In Christian marriage, love is not an option. It is a duty.
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
We may live in a culture that believes everyone will be saved, that we are 'justified by death' and all you need to do to go to heaven is die, but God’s Word certainly doesn’t give us the luxury of believing that.
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
He is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness. He can transform a sin-blistered man into a paragon of virtue. The Spirit changes people. The Author of life is also the Transformer of life.
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.
