The Lord continues to empty us in order to teach us to lay aside all self-reliance, that we may cling to Christ alone.

We find or invent the cleverest means of attributing our sins to anything or anyone outside of ourselves.

The evidence of conversion is not a decision card filled out, it's a life being lived out.

I have never met an old saint who regretted having spent too much time in prayer, but I have met many who regretted having spent too little!

The mark of a man of God is God upon the man.

When you refuse to teach on the radical depravity of men, it is an impossibility that you bring glory to God, His Christ, and His cross, because the cross of Jesus Christ and the glory thereof is most magnified when it's placed in front of the backdrop of our depravity!

The church must seek to be biblical rather than relevant. We are not going to leave a mark upon our culture because we have studied its ways and adapted ourselves to it. We are relevant when we reject the world outright and are its polar opposite! This present darkness provides a great opportunity for the church to be the salt of the earth, but if we mix with the very impurities we are supposed to expose... we are as useless as our culture already believes us to be.
