“An individual person can be a Christian, but an individual person cannot be a church.” – Mark Driscoll

“There is nothing more important to learn about Christian growth than this: Growing in grace means becoming like Christ.” – Sinclair Ferguson

“A man’s most glorious actions will, at last, be found to be but glorious sins, if he has made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.” – Thomas Brooks (1608 – 1680)

“Things Jesus did not say at the cross: ‘Gee, I sure hope they choose Me.'” – Jules LaPierre

“If someone wants to argue that humans created God out of a psychological need for security, then it can just as easily be argued that atheism is driven from the felt need to be freed from responsibility, moral constraints and obligations.” – R. C. Sproul

“God would never permit evil, if He could not bring good out of evil.” – Augustine

“We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.” – A.W. Tozer

“The Calvinist recognizes that the death of Jesus saves everyone for whom it was designed.” – Tom Ascol

“Among the sins to which the human heart is prone, hardly any other is more hateful to God than idolatry, for idolatry is at bottom a libel on His character. The idolatrous heart assumes that God is other than He is.… Let us beware lest we in our pride accept the erroneous notion that idolatry consists only in kneeling before visible objects of adoration, and that civilized peoples are therefore free from it. The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him.” (A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy, p. 11.)

“One thing that disturbs me about contemporary Christian jargon is the inexact use of the word witness. Too often people use the terms evangelism and witnessing interchangeably, as if they were synonyms. They are not. All evangelism is witness, but not all witness is evangelism. Evangelism is a specific type of witnessing. Not everyone is called to be a pastor or teacher. Not everyone is called to administration or specialized ministries of mercy. Not everyone is called to be an evangelist (though we are all called to verbalize our faith). We are all called to be witnesses to Christ, to make His invisible kingdom visible. We witness by doing the ministry of Christ. We witness by being the church, the people of God. Some of us can plant. Some of us can water. When we plant and water, God will bring an increase.” – Ligonier Ministries

“The two poles shall sooner meet than the love of God and the love of money.” – John Trapp

“I see a problem with idolatry in the evangelical world. There is much that is orthodox within current evangelicalism. Sadly, there is also much that is not orthodox. I see the problem of idolatry, not as a slight deviation here and there, but as a major problem. Idolatrous views of God are rampant within current evangelicalism. I find a God who is not immutable, who is not infinite, who is not holy, and who is not sovereign. Such a god is simply not God. It is an idol.” – R.C. Sproul

“Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.” – C.H. Spurgeon

“We preachers do not preach hell enough, and we do not say enough about sin. We talk about the gospel and wonder why people are not interested in what we say. Of course they are not interested. No man is interested in a piece of good news unless he has the consciousness of needing it; no man is interested in an offer of salvation unless he knows that there is something from which he needs to be saved. It is quite useless to ask a man to adopt the Christian view of the gospel unless he first has the Christian view of sin.” – J. Gresham Machen

“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.” – Margaret Thatcher
