The most precise and thoughtful scholar is limited in what he knows and wrong in some things that he affirms; the most devoted saint is stained with sin and full of error; the bravest heart among us will fail and break; but Christ is altogether lovely, holy, and unfailing.

It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.

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

The judgment of God against this nation will not be turned by a more conservative President, but by the repentance of its people.

The question is not, "Do you know you are a sinner?" the question is this, "As you have heard me preach the Gospel, has God so worked in your life that the sin you once loved you now hate?"

The evidence that you truly repented long ago when you said you did is because you're still repenting now and even to a greater degree. The evidence that you believed a long time ago is that you're still believing now and ever more believing in greater and greater degrees.

I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.
