Your children will go to public school and they will be trained for somewhere around 15,000 hours in ungodly secular thought. And then they’ll go to Sunday school and they’ll color a picture of Noah’s ark. And you think that’s going to stand against the lies that they are being told?
You are a steward of every moment, of every talent, of every gift, of every resource that God has given you. Choose wisely what you do today!
The judgment of God against this nation will not be turned by a more conservative President, but by the repentance of its people.
You ask me ‘What’s the greatest act of faith?’ To me, it is to look in the mirror of God’s word, see all my faults, all my sin, all my shortcomings, and to believe that God loves me exactly as he says he does.
A true Christian will be sensitive to the sin in their life and it will lead them to brokenness and genuine confession, but the person who says they are a Christian and are not sensitive to sin, it does not lead them to confession, a person who is that way is not a Christian.
The true convert does not receive the gospel as an addition to his previous life, but in exchange for it.
People tell me judge not lest ye be judged. I always tell them, twist not scripture lest ye be like satan.
If Jesus Christ isn’t strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don’t know Him at all.
God saved you for Himself; God saved you by Himself; God saved you from Himself.
We must not adopt the world’s view and then tweak it to make it Christian. We must draw a line in the sand and stand firm in the radical teachings of Christ and His gospel. We must preach the truth and be the examples of the truth we preach.
What can not be overcome in prayer? Answer me! What cannot be done by the hand of the Almighty? Answer me! What can be done by your feeble arms!? ANSWER ME! He can take down the iron curtain in a day, He CAN convert a nation in an hour. Call upon Him, believe Him.
It is only against the pitch blackness of the night that we see the glory of the stars. And it is only against the pitch blackness of man’s radical depravity that we can begin to see the glories of the gospel.
Then they ask, “Do you want Jesus to come into your heart?” Does it bother anyone that this formula or language is not found in the New Testament?
The greatest heresy in the American Evangelical and Protestant church is that if you pray and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, He will definitely come in!
The evidence of justification by faith is the ongoing work of sanctification through the Holy Spirit.
If you want to follow Jesus because He’ll fix your marriage, if you want to follow Jesus because He’ll give you a better life, that’s idolatry. Follow Christ for the sake of Christ; He is worthy!
Salvation is a work of God to show His glory. That’s why He’s not going to let it fail.
To the wind with what the world thinks about us. We are not to seek the approval of earth, but the honor of heaven.
The moment when you take your first step through the gates of hell, the only thing you will hear is all of creation standing to its feet and applauding and praising God because God has rid the earth of you. That’s how not good you are.
Next, they’ll say, “Do you want to go to heaven?” Have you ever had anybody say, “No, I’d rather go to hell.” My friend, understand this, everyone wants to go to heaven. They just don’t want God to be there when they get there.
