The gospel is not only the most important message in all of history; it is the only essential message in all of history.
Jerry BridgesPrayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God's sovereignty, along with his wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him, prayer is the expression of that trust.
Jerry BridgesGrace is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against him.
