I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to... The truth is that salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred scripture... Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility.

Powerless religion may put a man through many surface changes and leave him exactly what he was before.

God will speak to the hearts of those who prepare themselves to hear; and conversely, those who do not so prepare themselves will hear nothing even though the Word of God is falling upon their outer ears every Sunday.

With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.

One thing the young Christian should be taught as quickly as possible after his conversion is that Jesus Christ is all he needs.

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

Come to the Word with a spirit of longing with devotion and humble expectation. Be determined to know God.
