Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.

The Word of God can be in the mind without being in the heart; but it cannot be in the heart without first being in the mind.

Your task, O preacher, is to make sure that you are faithful to the text, that you are faithful to the proclamation of that gospel, that you are faithful to set forth the whole counsel of God, and then step back and let it happen.

Christ exposed Himself not only to the unbridled hostility of angry men, but, more significantly, to the unmitigated wrath of God.

The more I learn about God, the more aware I become of what I don’t know about him.

Fallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.

The truth of Scripture is meant not only to be studied-it’s meant also to be sung.

Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.

The complaint that church is boring is never made by people in awe.

God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.

To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.

Why would the disciples invent a God whose holiness was more terrifying than the forces of nature that provoked them to invent a god in the first place?

It is imperative that the Christian, at the beginning of his pursuit to understand what true worship is, gets it clear that the object of our worship is to be God and God alone.
