A billion years or so into eternity, how many toys we accumulated during this life will not seem too terribly important.

Hell is not filled with people who are deeply sorry for their sins. It is filled with people who for all eternity still shake their puny fist in the face of God Almighty.

Effective prayer is the fruit of a relationship with God, not a technique for acquiring blessings.

Some Christians want enough of Christ to be identified with him but not enough to be seriously inconvenienced; they genuinely cling to basic Christian orthodoxy but do not want to engage in serious Bible study; they value moral probity, especially of the public sort, but do not engage in war against inner corruptions; they fret over the quality of the preacher's sermon but do not worry much over the quality of their own prayer life. Such Christians are content with mediocrity.

The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.

Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.

God is absolutely sovereign, but his sovereignty never mitigates human responsibility.
