We must never allow the majority to overrule the clear teaching of the Word of God.

In the Western world the enemy has forsworn violence.  He comes against us no more with sword and fagot; he now comes smiling, bearing gifts.  He raises his eyes to heaven and swears that he too believes in the faith of our fathers, but his real purpose is to destroy that faith, or at least to modify it to such an extent that it is no longer the supernatural thing it once was.  He comes in the name of philosophy or psychology or anthropology, and with sweet reasonableness urges us to rethink our historic position, to be less rigid, more tolerant, more broadly understanding.

We might as well pray for God to invade and conquer us, for until he does, we remain in peril from a thousand foes.  We bear within us the seeds of our own disintegration.  Our moral imprudence puts us always in danger of accidental or reckless self-destruction. The strength of our flesh is an ever present danger to our souls.  Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life.  Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees.  God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.  Then He invades our natures with that ancient and eternal life which is from the beginning.  So he conquers us and by that benign conquest saves us for himself.

The purpose of God isn’t to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.

Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.

Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.

An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.

As long as we leave sin unconfessed, we are actually saying that we don’t believe the Lord is going to come now.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.
