The providence of God does not relieve us of our human responsibility: it doesn't call for inactivity, it calls for activity.

There are no freelance Christians; there is no solo-flying to heaven.

God's plan for moving people from the broad road to the narrow road involves you.

The Bible comes both to warn and to encourage and always to turn us again to the Lord Jesus Christ.

I listen to some of you guys out there, hyper-reformed boys, you're concerned if you preach the gospel to the wrong person, the wrong person might get saved. So you don't want to preach it too good, 'well wait a minute, I don't think you should've been getting saved, I'm not sure you're in the group.' What do you mean in the group! If you breath you're in the group! If you have ears to hear you're in the group! And if you choose not to respond it's your own fault, not God's.

I only need a mirror to see a sinner.

Despite the obvious emphasis of Scripture (in regard to suffering), we are bombarded by suggestions that the 'successful' Christian living takes place in the realm of constant victory, health, wholeness, and financial prosperity. In response to this we are not to pretend that suffering doesn’t exist or that it might be instantly cured. Such notions are the product of empty heads and closed Bibles.
