If you want to follow Jesus because He'll fix your marriage, if you want to follow Jesus because He'll give you a better life, that's idolatry. Follow Christ for the sake of Christ; He is worthy!

We must not adopt the world's view and then tweak it to make it Christian. We must draw a line in the sand and stand firm in the radical teachings of Christ and His gospel. We must preach the truth and be the examples of the truth we preach.

The MORE you Trust in the Arm of the FLESH, the LESS you're going to see of the POWER of GOD.

If Jesus Christ isn't strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don't know Him at all.

It is only against the pitch blackness of the night that we see the glory of the stars. And it is only against the pitch blackness of man's radical depravity that we can begin to see the glories of the gospel.

Everybody wants to go to heaven. They just don't want God to be there when they get there.

The man who has truly believed in his heart ... his life will be marked by a biblical confession of Christ in word and deed.
