“This text is an important text: Matthew 7:1-2 – Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

So is this text: John 7:24 – Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

And so is this text: – 1 Corinthians 6:2 – Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

And most people who appeal to the first one are not even aware of the other two, or the proper harmony amongst them. A full explanation would exceed the scope of this post, but suffice to say that Matthew 7:1-2 does not mean that we cannot or should not pass moral judgments on people or behaviors. If it did, that would mean we cannot say that murder is wrong, or say that thieves are sinning in what they are doing. That’s an absurd result, and it should demonstrate the absurdity of applying the verse to say that we can’t say that criminal sexual acts are sinful.” – Turretinfan

“When the Bible speaks, God speaks.” – John Calvin

“No verse of Scripture yields its meaning to lazy people.” – A. W. Pink

“True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.” – Martin Luther

“Doctrine divides…but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God’s people who celebrate the truth of God together.” – R. C. Sproul

“Christ died not in order to make God love us, but because He did love His people. Calvary is the supreme demonstration of Divine love. Whenever you are tempted to doubt the love of God, Christian reader, go back to Calvary.” – A. W. Pink

“Those whom God has chosen to salvation by Christ, are those whom God specially loves in this world. They are the jewels among mankind. He cares more for them than for kings on their thrones, if kings are not converted. He hears their prayers. He orders all the events of nations and the issues of wars for their good, and their sanctification. He keeps them by His Spirit. He allows neither man nor devil to pluck them out of His hand. Whatever tribulation comes on the world, God’s elect are safe. May we never rest until we know that we are of this blessed number! There breathes not the man or woman who can prove that he is not one. The promises of the Gospel are open to all. May we give diligence to make our calling and election sure! God’s elect are a people who cry unto Him night and day. When Paul saw the faith, and hope, and love of the Thessalonians, then he knew “their election of God.” (1 Thess. 1:4; Luke 18:7.) – J. C. Ryle

“If Christ is not first with you, Christ is nothing to you.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“The farmer does not sift his wheat because he dislikes it, but just the opposite; he sifts it because it is precious. And thou, child of God, thy trials and changes, and constant catastrophes, and afflictions, are no proofs of want of affection on the part of the Most High, but the very contrary.” -C. H. Spurgeon

“Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.” – R. C. Sproul

“This doctrine (justification-J.F.) is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God and without it the church of God cannot exist for one hour.” – Martin Luther

“There has been no such thing as freedom since Adam fell. Adam was free. Not a single child of Adam has ever been free… Man’s will has been bound ever since the fall of Adam. By nature man is not free to choose God.” – Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Romans – Assurance)

“Most Christian’s salute the sovereignty of God but believe in the sovereignty of man.” – R. C. Sproul

“The measure of biblical truth that we have grasped is not determined by the size of our heads, but the breadth of our hearts.” – Paul Washer

“Aristotle did not invent logic any more than Columbus invented America.” – R. C. Sproul

“A sight of His death – if it is a true sight – is the death of all love of sin.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“In fact, there is no worship of God that is better than the hearing of a sermon.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“It is possible to be so active in the service of Christ as to forget to love him.” – P. T Forsyth

“Christ did not die for any upon the condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God’s elect, that they should believe.” – John Owen

[Commenting on John 6:44 – “Unless the Father draw him.”] “The statement amounts to this, that we ought not to wonder if many refuse to embrace the Gospel; because no man will ever of himself be able to come to Christ, but God must first approach him by his Spirit; and hence it follows that all are not drawn, but that… God bestows this grace on those whom he has elected. True, indeed, as to the kind of drawing, it is not violent, so as to compel men by external force; but still it is a powerful impulse of the Holy Spirit, which makes men willing who formerly were unwilling and reluctant. It is a false and profane assertion, therefore, that none are drawn but those who are willing to be drawn, as if man made himself obedient to God by his own efforts; for the willingness with which men follow God is what they already have from himself, who has formed their hearts to obey him.” – John Calvin

“The Bible is ultimately about God getting glory for Himself through the work of Christ, the incarnate Son of God, the mediator between God and men, the redeemer, the reconciler of all things created, the skull-crushing seed of the woman.” ~ Richard Barcellos

“Someone asked me, ‘Do you pray for the dead?’ I said, ‘No, I preach to them!’ I think every pew in every church is death row. Think about that! They’re dead! They sing about God; they talk about God, but they’re dead! They have no living relationship (with God).” – Leonard Ravenhill

“The ultimate destiny of every individual is decided by the will of God, and blessed it is that such be the case; if it were left to our wills, the ultimate destination of us all would be the lake of fire.” – A.W. Pink, ‘The Sovereignty of God’

“Isn’t it amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?” – R.C. Sproul

“You have three choices in world missions: be a joyful, sacrificial goer, be a joyful, sacrificial sender, or be disobedient.” – John Piper

“When we deal seriously with our sins, God will deal gently with us.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon.” – Konrad Adenauer

“That very Church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God Abhors.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“The gospel of Satan announces salvation by character, which reverses the order of God’s Word–character by, as the fruit of, salvation.” – A.W. Pink

“Calvary shows how far men will go in sin, and how far God will go for man’s salvation.” – H.C. Trumball
