“Although my memory’s fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.” – John Newton

“The devil is aware that one hour of close, spiritual and hearty converse with God in prayer, is able to pull down what he hath been contriving and building many a year.” – John Flavel

“The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God!” – C. H. Spurgeon

“All who are saved are saved as a result of what God does. All who are lost are lost as a result of what they do.” – Don Fortner

“To the Arminian, Christ can never truly be Savior in this life. At best, He is Probation Officer.” – Dan Phillips

“Some men cannot endure to hear the Doctrine of Election. I suppose they like to choose their own wives, but they are not willing that Christ should select His bride, the Church!” – C. H. Spurgeon

“The doctrine of providence teaches Christians that they are never in the grip of blind forces (fortune, chance, luck, fate); all that happens to them is divinely planned, and each event comes as a new summons to trust, obey, and rejoice, knowing that all is for one’s spiritual and eternal good (Rom. 8:28).” J. I. Packer

“It is a sin when I place myself deliberately in the place of tempatation… either because I enjoy the prospect or because I’m not determined enough in my desire to overcome it.” – Alistair Begg

“A natural faith is sufficient for trusting a human object; but a supernatural faith is required to savingly trust in a Divine object.” – A.W. Pink, Studies On Saving Faith

“When God hardens hearts He gives them their freedom to exercise the evil of their own desires.” – R.C. Sproul

“To sum up, man cannot without sacrilege claim for himself even a crumb of righteousness, for just so much is plucked and taken away from the glory of God’s righteousness. We must hold this as a universal principle: Whoever glories in himself glories against God.” – John Calvin

“The reason the church tries so many other things besides preaching Christ is because it suspects the kingdom can be established some other way. But there is no other way. People will not come into the kingdom because they like the minister, support the children’s program, or enjoy the music. They may come into a church that way, but not into the kingdom. The only way people ever come into God’s kingdom is by hearing His heralds proclaim a crucified King.” – Philip Graham Ryken

“I’ve often reflected on the rather obvious thought that when his disciples were about to have the world collapse in on them, our Lord spent so much time in the Upper Room speaking to them about the mystery of the Trinity. If anything could underline the necessity of Trinitarianism for practical Christianity, that must surely be it!” Sinclair Ferguson, cited in Letham, The Holy Trinity, 375

“Ah! if there be degrees in glory, they will not be distributed according to our talents, but according to our faithfulness in using them.” – C.H. Spurgeon

Writing about evolutionary links, Colin Patterson, senior palaeontologist at the British Museum of Natural History says, “I will lay it on the line. There is not one such fossil for which one might make a watertight argument.”

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God. Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God. For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that composes the Church. Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God.” – A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy (New York: HarperCollins, 1978), 1.

“A living faith cannot arise out of a dead soul.” – Steve Lawson

“To keep from blinding us with his brightness God covers himself with light.” Psalm 104:2 – John Piper

“Over 50 million children have been aborted in America under sanction of federal law since Roe v. Wade. Fifty million. If we honored each of those 50 million human beings with a single minute of silence, we would remain speechless for over 95 years. How about instead of remaining speechless as, to our everlasting shame we have done now for 39 years, we open our mouths and blow the trumpet?” —Rolley Haggard

“Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.” – C.H. Spurgeon

“Find someone who knows more about the Bible and less about the Bible than you & put yourself in the middle.” – Steve Lawson

“I shall never understand, even in Heaven, why the Lord Jesus should ever have loved me.” – C. H. Spurgeon

Luther on Erasmus’s eloquent prose upholding bad arguments: “it is like using gold or silver dishes to carry garden rubbish or dung.”

“Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty.” – Steve Lawson

“Now faith cometh not of our free-will; but is the gift of God, given us by grace, ere there be any will in our hearts to do the law of God. And why God giveth it not every man, I can give no reckoning of his judgments. But well I know, I never deserved it, nor prepared myself unto it; but ran another way clean contrary in my blindness, and sought not that way; but he sought me, and found me out, and showed it me, and therewith drew me to him. And I bow the knees of my heart unto God night and day, that he will show it all other men; and I suffer all that I can, to be a servant to open their eyes. For well I know they cannot see of themselves, before God hath prevented them with his grace.” – William Tyndale

“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.” – A.W. Tozer
