We live in a culture bound by sin like bands of iron. Moral stories, quaint maxims, and life lessons shared from the heart of a beloved pulpiteer or spiritual life coach have no real power against such darkness. We need preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ who know the Scriptures, and by God's grace face any culture with the cry, 'Thus saith the Lord!'

You cannot learn doctrine well until you follow the doctrine you learn!

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

I now understand more of our calling. The weakest instruments are chosen to do the greatest works so that the glory might go to God.

Sunday morning in America is the greatest hour of idolatry in the whole week. Why? Because most people who are even worshiping God, are worshiping a God they don't know. They're worshiping a god that looks more like Santa Claus than the God of Scripture. They're worshiping a god that is a figment of their own imagination. They created a god in their own likeness and they worship the god they've made.

Christ is not knocking on the door of a sinner's heart, but on the door of a wayward church.

The measure of biblical truth that we have grasped is not determined by the size of our heads, but the breadth of our hearts.
