It is absurd to think that a man can believe in Christ, with his heart, and it not have a radical affect on the rest of his life.

Tell them that everything in their life is going to have to bend to His will. Repent and believe.

The work of God in salvation is a supernatural work, but in the United States of America and among Baptists it's been reduced down to a few evangelical hoops that if we can get someone to jump through, we declare them popishly to be savedit has been the pulpit that's sending more people to Hell than any liberal organization on the face of the earthnot a liberal Methodist, not a liberal Episcopalian, but a Baptist who claims to know God's word and yet does not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The true convert does not receive the gospel as an addition to his previous life, but in exchange for it.

If following Jesus Christ doesn't cost you anything, it's because you've bought into 'American Christianity.'

You ask me 'What’s the the greatest act of faith?' To me is to look in the mirror of God’s word, and see all my faults, all my sin, all my shortcomings and to believe that God loves me exactly as he says he does.

In the gospel of Jesus, sincere and costly discipleship always accompanies genuine conversion. The gospel of Jesus teaches men that a mere profession of faith alone is no sound evidence of salvation.
