The next time someone tells you, "The Church is full of a bunch of hypocrites." You can respond, "You don't even know the half of it."

It is our confidence in the sovereign grace of God that gives us any hope of success in missions.

The goal of revelation is not information only, but affection, worship, and obedience. Christ in us will be realized only as we drink deeply of the Bible, which is God's word outside of us

The reason for your entire salvation, the design behind your deliverance, the purpose for which God chose you in the first place is holiness.

Holiness is the sum of a million little things — the avoidance of little evils and little foibles, the setting aside of little bits of worldliness and little acts of compromise, the putting to death of little inconsistencies and little indiscretions, the attention to little duties and little dealings, the hard work of little self-denials and little self-restraints, the cultivation of little benevolences and little forbearances.

The people on this planet who end up doing nothing are those who never realized they couldn't do everything.

Our first love is Jesus. Holiness is not ultimately about living up to a moral standard. It's about living in Christ and living out of our real, vital union with him.
