God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.
Give me the biblical Christ or give me nothing.
One might pray and not be a Christian, but one cannot be a Christian and not pray.
God doesn't want us to just feel gratitude, but for us to show it by giving thanks to God with our lives.
If you are of the truth, if you have learned the truth, if you see the sanctity of the truth, then speak truth. We are not called to be deceivers or liars. God is a God of truth, and His people are called to have an enormously high standard of truth.

Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves from God.
Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads
If there is one maverick molecule in all the universe, then God is not sovereign. And if God is not sovereign, He is not God.
Fallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.
We need the church as urgently as a starving baby needs his mother’s milk.

God's grace is so powerful that it has the capacity to overcome our natural resistance to it.
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.
To despise doctrine is to despise the Word of God.
