“Congregations in every age must see themselves as learning communities in which gospel truth has to be taught, defended, and vindicated against corruptions of it and alternatives to it. Being alert to all aspects of the difference between true and false teaching, and of behavior that expresses the truth as distinct from obscuring it, is vital to the church’s health.” – J. I. Packer

“People do not drift toward Holiness…We slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.” – D.A. Carson

“We must place our reliance entirely on the perfect obedience and sin-bearing death of Christ as the sole basis of our standing before God—on our best days as well as our worst…” – Jerry Bridges

“Church leaders who have been committed to seeing the church reformed according to God’s Word down through the ages have had a common method: read the Word, preach the Word, pray the Word, sing the Word, see the Word (in the ordinances). Often referred to by theologians as the elements of corporate worship, these five basics are essential to the corporate life, health, and holiness of any local church.” ~Mark Dever

“The Spirit does not add to Scripture. The Spirit does not speak apart from Scripture. The Spirit does not speak alongside the Scripture. The Spirit speaks THROUGH the Scripture.” – Dustin Benge

“A worldview is the lens through which someone views the world around him. Everyone has one and not all worldviews are equally valid. In the great battle for worldviews in our day, the first four words in our Bibles have breathtaking, cosmic impact. Either they are true and everything about everything needs to be viewed in the light of them; or else they are untrue, and merely the irrelevant ramblings of misguided man. There is nothing in between. There is no neutral ground nor can there be. So the question I put before you today is this, ‘What will you do with ‘In the beginning, God…’” – John Samson

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

– Hebrews 11:6

“I don’t always feel God’s presence, but God’s promises do not depend upon my feelings, they rest upon His integrity.” – R. C. Sproul

“The Word of God can take care of itself, and will do so if we preach it, and cease defending it. See you that lion. They have caged him for his preservation; shut him up behind iron bars to secure him from his foes! See how a band of armed men have gathered together to protect the lion. What a clatter they make with their swords and spears! These mighty men are intent upon defending a lion. O fools, and slow of heart! Open that door! Let the lord of the forest come forth free. Who will dare to encounter him? What does he want with your guardian care? Let the pure gospel go forth in all its lion-like majesty, and it will soon clear its own way and ease itself of its adversaries.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“Just because a guy struggles with same sex desire doesn’t mean God made him gay, any more than a guy struggling with anger means God made him a murderer. You have a choice with what you do with every temptation.” – Allen Atzbi

“The evidence of genuine conversion is not sinless perfection but a life marked by genuine repentance and confession. The one who confesses faith in Christ and yet lives in sin with little or no brokenness or divine discipline should be greatly concerned.” – Paul Washer

“The legalist is right to think that the demands of the law must be met. The legalist is wrong to think that he can meet them.” – Kevin DeYoung

“While debating two Darwinian Biologists I asked why we do not find lots of transitional fossils in the earth’s crustal rock layers. They said it was due to Darwinian evolution happening too fast to be caught in the stratified layers (Punctuated Equilibrium). Later, I asked why we do not see Macro change occurring today. This time they responded that we cannot observe Darwinian change occurring in the present as such change takes place slowly, over long ages of time. I said, ‘Well now you have me confused. Does Darwinian evolution occur too quickly to leave evidence in the fossil record or too slowly to be seen in the present?’ They looked at each other and stated, ‘Wow, you are right! This is our religious belief! But it is what we believe.’ I replied, ‘Choose to believe whatever you like; just stop teaching it as if it were science to unsuspecting children.’” – Russ Miller

“It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus. But Satan’s work is just the opposite; he is constantly trying to make us look at ourselves instead of Christ.” —C.H. Spurgeon

“If you’re not concerned for others’ salvation, I’m concerned for yours.” – Ray Comfort

“Don’t pray for less fear to reach the lost. Pray for more love, because that’s the problem.” – Ray Comfort

“If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord’s will but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumption, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved. Do not suppose that the Gospel is magnified or God glorified by going to the worldlings and telling them that they may be saved at this moment by simply accepting Christ as their Savior, while they are wedded to their idols, and their hearts are still in love with sin. If I do so I tell them a lie, pervert the Gospel, insult Christ, and turn the grace of God into lasciviousness.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“We are not loving people when we’re telling them that God accepts them as they are without repentance, because we’re lying to them… God’s grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious. We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out.” – R.C. Sproul

“Refuse self-pity. Refuse it absolutely. It is a deadly thing with the power to destroy you. Turn your thoughts to Christ who has already carried our griefs and sorrows.” – Elisabeth Elliot

“We must place our reliance entirely on the perfect obedience and sin-bearing death of Christ as the sole basis of our standing before God—on our best days as well as our worst…” – Jerry Bridges

“God’s sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.” – Jerry Bridges

“It is as impossible to understand the Scriptures without the Spirit’s help as it is to read a sundial without the sun.” – Derek Prime & Alistair Begg

“God, in mercy, will never allow children of His to be comfortable in sin.” – Will Metzger
